I recently acquired my moms 1963 Telecaster. It is the one that is made of mahogany. It appears to be completely original with no modifications or. It has a descent amount of wear and tear on the body, the black knob on the three way switch and the pickup cover are missing. The case is not original, I think they got the case sometime in the 70's. I believe that the mahogany Telecasters were only made in 1963 and maybe 1964, I could be wrong on that.

Any information on this guitar would be appreciated.

Ok, here are a few photos. I'm not really sure how to attach the photos so I hope this works.

I think you're right about 1963/64 being the only period Teles were offered in mahogany.

Dunno what it's worth, but it looks all original, has that played-in look that many so-called "relics" try to re-create. I reckon you'd get quite a few bob for it!

But are you asking because you want to sell or just curious?
