Info Required: 1983/84, etc Fender Elite Telecaster

HarrySeven

Can anyone point me in the direction of a catalogue detailing the colour range for the ‘80’s Elite Telecaster?

If you can bear with me, I still have a copy of the 1983 catalogue somewhere. It only illustrates solid colours, sunbursts and the solid walnut model. I don't think that it covers the graduated finishes or the swirly "bowling ball" edition.

Excellent stuff - thanks!

Did you ever get sorted with the Tele images you were after & was there a colour scheme in particular you wanted?

HarrySeven

No.

i just wanted to know the full colour range, nothing specific.

Black, off-white, three-colour sunburst, cherry sunburst, goldtop and those weird graduated finishes (e.g. blue > silver).

The Elite Stratocaster was available in a Seven Up metallic green. I don’t recall this being an option on the Elite Telecaster or the basses.

The swirl finishes came after my catalogue was published. There may also have been a transparent red finish and a transparent green in 1984.

Thanks!

Natural as well, I seem to recall?

Fender colour choice?

It's always black, sunburst, red and Olympic white isn't it?
