 FENDER | | Telecaster: Classic/Collectible Series | | The Collectible Series was originally produced in Japan and were created to simulate guitars from the vintage era of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. In summer of 1999, Fender shifted all production of these guitars to Mexico and labeled them the Classic Series. Almost every model that was produced in Japan continued on in Mexico, but Japan models seem to draw more interest in the used marketplace. | | '50s TELECASTER (JAPAN MFG.
