Explanation
“You want the crisp, well-defined tone that’s unique to the Telecaster, but you’re not satisfied with the standard look or the lightweight, thin sound that everyone else has.” Aren’t you looking for an overwhelming presence that makes you stand out from the crowd the moment you step on stage, along with a thick, full-bodied sound that cuts right through the ensemble?
The Collector Series Black & Gold Telecaster was produced for only a little over a year, from 1981 to 1982. The instantly recognizable contrast between the jet-black matching headstock and body and the dazzling gold hardware creates a truly special appearance that stands out even in Fender’s history.
This guitar combines the rarity of a true collector’s item with breathtaking performance on the stage. The 1981–1982 Fender Black & Gold Telecaster encapsulates the passion of the early ’80s. It features special details unique to this model and one-of-a-kind specifications born from its substantial materials.
The all-black body and matching headstock are accented with dazzling gold hardware. The model’s unique, ingenious craftsmanship—including a custom-designed control panel and a substantial bridge plate—will satisfy any collector’s desire to own it.
It features a substantial, carefully selected ash body. Combined with the one-piece maple neck, this creates an extremely fast picking response and delivers a thick, robust low end with sharply defined tonal contours.
The slim neck profile fits comfortably in your hand. It delivers exceptional playability, from chord work to high-speed lead playing.
From the crisp, bright rear tone characteristic of a Telecaster to the rich, sweet front tone, it covers a wide range of versatile sounds that won’t get lost in an ensemble.
This is an extremely rare Collector Series model, produced for just over a year. It will be the perfect companion for guitarists who want “a main guitar that stands out more than anyone else’s on stage” or who are “looking for the ultimate ’80s Fender that combines a distinctive presence with a solid, core-filled sound that no one else has.”
Experience the supreme Telecaster tone unleashed by the substantial ash body, paired with the elegant aesthetics of black and gold. Discover this Collector Series model that commands an overwhelming presence on stage.
