There are a few models of Telecaster that have been made over the years that stand out as being super collectable and one of those is the 1968/9 Pink Paisley and Blue Floral Teles. As a collector, I have always lusted after these guitars and finally, I have managed to acquire a 1968 Pink Paisley Tele at a price I could afford.

So here she is:

@AjayTele

It's an original vintage US-made or a MIJ reissue?

The original Floral series were only Telecaster guitars and basses.

Fortunately Fender Japan did Floral Stratocasters which were based on a '72 model. Later, the floral wallpapers were applied on a '50s Strat.
