Glorious Rosewood

I love wood. I especially love all tone wood guitars.  It made me so happy to read about Fender's drop dead gorgeous Limited Rosewood Telecaster.  

Fender built several rosewood instruments in the late ’60s. These were in production very briefly and are now extremely collectable. Jimi Hendrix reportedly had one of the first Rosewood Stratocaster® guitars, and George Harrison  used one of the original Rosewood Telecaster guitars on Let It Be and for the fabled Apple Records rooftop concert in 1969.

Fender says:

The Classic Rosewood Telecaster is now offered as a Limited Edition for 2013 and is a meticulously crafted replica of one of the most sought after guitars in Fender history. Features include a rosewood body, rosewood neck with early-’60s “oval C”-shaped profile and no skunk stripe or plug, rosewood fingerboard with 9.5” radius and 6105 frets, vintage-style hardware, Twisted Tele® pickups with modern wiring, and satin urethane Closet Classic finish. Each guitar comes with a Limited Edition case, decal, neck plate and certificate of authenticity.

Price?   Well, you know the possessor of an instrument like this, has champagne taste.  This beauty has an MSRP of $7,000.  I've seen it on line for about $1,500 less street price.  

Love the guitar but you could never afford it?   Why don't you look into the Fender 60th Anniversary Lite Rosewood Telecaster.  Street, on that one can be as low as $1,600.
