2001 "CIJ" Fender Pink Paisley Telecaster w/Bigsby B5 Vibrato

This is the guitar I've had in my collection the longest, so that says something. I've always loved pink paisley Teles, and the mod/psychedelic vibe they evoke, so when I got the chance to nab one some years back, I took it. I had my luthier throw on an after-market Fender-licensed Bigsby to add interest, along with some DiMarzzio Twang King pickups (the bridge pickup has the capacity to explore the furthest reaches of the high end, whereas the neck pickup is considered by many to be the very best around in terms of depth, fullness, and warmth; add them together in the middle position and you really have something), and yeah... This is a great looking, great playing guitar. Ultra low action up and down the neck.  Fender makes very good instruments all around, and the "Crafted in Japan" (CIJ) versions are no exception.  This  one comes in the heavy-duty tweed hard shell case you see here, in addition to the Fender vintage logo polish cloth, and Sari fabric from India lining the upper cavity for added psychedelic effect.  Apart from Custom Shop models for several thousands more, not many Teles out there have the add-ons and the vibe that this one has...  $1799
