Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.This 1962 Fender Telecaster in silver sparkle is a custom-colour example from the pre-CBS era, the period before Fenders 1965 sale to CBS that collectors generally regard as the peak of the original build quality and specification. Sparkle finishes were a novelty custom-order option drawing on drum-shell material rather than Fenders standard automotive-derived DuPont colour range, making surviving examples considerably rarer than a stock blonde or sunburst Telecaster from the same year. It is associated in this catalogue with Brad Paisley.
The Fender Highway One Telecaster was the US-built entry point in the 2000s, distinguished by a thin nitrocellulose finish left satin rather than buffed, so it wears through quickly in use. Later runs added the Greasebucket tone circuit, which rolls off treble without the bass increase a conventional tone control introduces.
