Personalized by Fender: 1969 Telecasters with Factory Neck Inlays!


Listen Later

In 1969, Fender offered a little-known custom option: factory-personalized neck inlays. In this video, we dive into the rare story of a father and son who took Fender up on that offer—ordering two Telecasters inlaid with their names: "Bubba" and "Bob Clawson." These guitars were custom-made at the Fender factory and delivered to Clawson's Music in Corpus Christi, Texas, a Fender dealer since 1964.

Join us as we explore the history of Fender’s neck personalization option, examine these two stunning custom Telecasters, and uncover how this one-of-a-kind order came to be. Whether you're a vintage guitar lover, Fender historian, or just into cool guitar stories, you won’t want to miss this rare glimpse into a forgotten piece of Fender’s past.
