It all started when…
Leo Fender used to bring his invention that would later be named the Telecaster, to Western swing bands and ask the guitarists to play them and give him feedback. He made adjustments, narrowly missed being partners with Les Paul and in 1950 the “Broadcaster” was manufactured and renamed the Telecaster. This was the first mass produced Fender electric guitar.
I’ve always believed that from 1950 to 1965, Fender got it right from the very beginning and since 1970, has been trying to recapture that magic of the early Fender electric guitars. We try to have a variety of vintage Fenders and some modern models.
Here are Fender electrics (Vintage & Modern) we currently have availble for sale at Winter Park Vintage Guitars.

Pleased to offer this original one owner 1965 Fender Stratocaster. This is a special one of many ‘60s Strats I’ve handled, with amazing sounding pickups and a very deep rich orange sunburst.
Small headstock, white guard, no issues and just refretted with matching size vintage Fender fret size. Now it really plays and sounds and feels incredible.
The original logo was missing a middle section so the logo is replaced with a period correct logo, otherwise original. Perfect amount of nicks and natural aging a great feeling neck. A true vintage gem. Comes with original case.

Pleased to offer this first year Fender Stratocaster from 1954. This is Stratocaster 433 made with a ‘59 neck and ‘54 body (refinished). According to Gruhn’s, the loaded guard (reissue) and the electronics appear to be from the late 1950s or early 1960. The neck is a rounded C and has been refretted and is in great playing shape. Not a museum piece but a beautiful and great playing first year modified Strat at a fair price in light of the changes. Includes a 1960s Fender case.
Pleased to offer this unique 1962/1965 Fender Stratocaster L-plate. Small headstock, transition logo, 3-way selector, gray bottom pickups and just a fantastic September ‘65 neck and electronics.
The RR stamped on the body under the pickguard and markings on the body show it as a 1962 body yet, with the very unique mustard tint finish only seen in 1965 and ‘65 neck and electronics. This has led me to the conclusion this was a 1962 Stratocaster sent back to Fender factory for a “Refresh and Refinish.”
It was common for Fender owners to send their old guitar to Fender for a refresh. In fact Fender encouraged it to stay up to date! Often, as with this guitar, Fender threw away the ‘62 neck and loaded pickguard, refinished it in early ‘65 with that ‘65 tint finish, then put a ‘65 neck and loaded pickguard on it. That unique tint was only seen in early to mid 1965.
Just a quality 1962/1965 Strat from the pre-CBS and early CBS transition that has it all and sounds incredible. Includes original black/orange no logo case.

Pleased to offer this original 1972 Fender Thinline Telecaster. The 1972 Thinline Tele was a completely unique departure with its hollow body and F sound hole and wide range humbucker pickups.
This is a great example of an early 1972 in Excellent to Very Good condition. Its owner got it in 1974 but never learned to play so this ‘72 Thinline Tele sat for most of its life; good news for the new caretaker.
Everything is original and except the case. There are a few pickguard screw holes cracked but still there and holding. No other issues, frets look good.
These have been hot lately for some reason but I can think of a few on this timeless Thinline design of 1972.

Pleased to offer this 1962 Gibson Les Paul (SG). This wonderful player’s grade ‘62 LPSG has had some knocks but some recent refreshing has yielded a ‘62 Les with new life and a great player.
Just refretted and with a new Gibson aged “vintage” sideway vibrola tailpiece, this old Gibson is feeling good on the fretboard but now with improved intonation with the updated tailpiece.
The electronics (pots, wiring, switch, jack) are original. A modern ‘57 Classic bridge pickup but in the neck is the original Patent number sticker PAF.
The neck thin taper with a wide nut but has had a headstock repair. It also appears to have a very thin heel repair and there is overspray over both areas. These appear to be very old and stable repairs.
Priced as a quality player’s grade 1962 Les Paul that has an amazing sound and feel…and it looks pretty cool too. Included original yellow lined case.
