Fender Custom Shop Sr. Master builder Mark Kendrick disassembles (what we believed at the time was) Buck Owens original 64 Gold Sparkle Tele custom.
Eveidently this is one of three glass finished gold sparkle Teles made in 1964. This one has been in Fender's posession since 1964 and I'm told that today is still hanging at the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, CA
