What a terrific combo....a tele and a princeton!
So perfect. The partscaster in my avatar is my attempt to have just that guitar! View attachment 517247
Yes I had seen your post about it! I'm not sure why the numbers are different, but they are close enough for me to say the number is low. A rare colour for sure.
And with most of them going to Europe, I wonder how many are in North America.
It's great when you find exactly what you are looking for!
I'm not sure about the Telecaster/Marvin connection; he was primarily a Fender Strat player, with a brief interlude with Burns. We see quite a few Fiesta red/gold hardware Custom Shop Strats here, and there was a recent release of a MIM FSR version. Beautiful.Fiesta Red had the lowest production as it was for the European market only. 139 would be about right. I’m pretty sure the color and selected market was due to Hank Marvin.
Candy Apple Red was next with about 200. Not sure if it was U.S. market only or worldwide.
Lake Placid Blue was the next lowest, with about 500.

Bruce Welch now owns Marvin's original '58, and I can't begin to imagine how much such a rare guitar with an iconic connection might be sold for, if it ever is.

The story I remember re: Fiesta Red AV64 was that it was part of a FSR order for European distributors that was cancelled during production and that there were fewer that the 139 number. Because the order was never fully completed they sold them in the US.
Anyway - thats a great Tele and a great color.
Hi I'm interested in your source for this.
