Fender Rosewood Telecaster

In the late ’60s, Fender built several instruments made entirely of beautiful hand-selected rosewood. Fender didn’t build them for long and didn’t build very many, but Jimi Hendrix reportedly had one of the first rosewood Stratocaster guitars, and Beatle George Harrison played an original rosewood Telecaster guitar on Let It Be and at the infamous 1969 Apple Records rooftop concert that proved to be the Beatles’ final public performance. Original Fender rosewood guitars are now highly collectible on the vintage market.
