Fender was still making the MIJ Rosewood Telecaster in the 90s. I bought one used at a guitar show in '96 and the guy who sold it to me told me to hold onto in because Fender was getting ready to discontinue it. And they did indeed quit making them within the next year (or so). By the way, it is a very sweet guitar; not just pretty to look at, but plays and sounds great. It's the one electric guitar I doubt I will sell while I can still play.
The Rosewood Teles that Fender was selling in recent years were not the same. I believe they used a rosewood veneer. Here's one I found on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Japan...item3cbe4609e0 Looking at the prices on eBay for some of these guitars, I think I could make a pretty penny if I ever did decide to sell mine. I paid $700 (used, near mint, but no original case). Looks like it would likely go for over $2K now (heck, they're asking almost $1500 for that veneer rosewood model). |

Not all of the Rosewood Teles made in recent years use veneer . 2006 and no veneer . There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe how good this one feels , plays and sounds .
I like to believe that George would have approved . |

I love George Harrison!
In my opinion, he is one of the most underrated guitarists to ever hit the public eye. He was truly great and I believe he produced the best music after the Beatles' breakup. Thanks for the post! And I, too would love to have that rosewood tele. |
