Pocketwatch-Inspired Guitars

This Fender Telecaster is Inspired By Vintage Pocketwatches

The Fender Telecaster is one of the most celebrated electric guitars in music history and has been reimagined in various ways, a tradition that continues with the Master Repeater Tele -- a guitar that is given a luxurious look and feel inspired by 18th-century pocket watches.

Handcrafted by Custom Shop Master Builders for the 2016 Prestige Collection, this Fender Telecaster boasts as many as a thousand diamonds as well as 6 meters of 18-karat rose gold lining and an 8-karat sold gold Fender logo. The guitar's sound hole features a rosette similar to 18th century pocket watch movements.

Considering that the Fender Telecaster is considered a treasure unto itself by electric guitar players and enthusiasts, this luxurious reworking of the guitar adds further allure to an already enduring electric guitar icon.
