The Jescar Vintage (45085) frets are on the smaller side, closer to the originals. Two Custom Shop Hand-Wound '67 Single-Coil Tele pickups run through the standard three positions, and the strings pass through the body to a 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel barrel saddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same year in the flower finishes, look at the Vintage Custom '68 Telecaster NOS.
