Description: 

From the consigner:

#SH01 of 60 made for the 60th Anniversary! This guitar was presented to George Fullerton’s family by Fender after he passed away in 2010. George had helped Fender recreate the original Snakehead Custom Nocaster Vintage Tele Single coil prototype pickup for this run and his story about the telecaster is also included in the case candy that comes with this guitar!

George’s son Jeff consigned #SH01 at Buffalo Brothers Guitars in Carlsbad CA. 

I acquired it about 5 years ago now and only show it on occasion. It has never been played and is as new. All case candy etc. is in the case. The case has a few small dings.

Body is 100 year old pine wood, and there is no trus rod in the single piece hard rock maple neck.

5.95 pounds

Nitrocellulose lacquer finish

The Snakehead; where it all began! pre-Fender sticker era. The prototype! Here we have #1, the first of the replica run of the guitar originally released in 1946 that would ultimately become the world-famous iconic Telecaster.

The back of the headstock features the signature of George Fullerton, who had a huge hand in creating the tele.
