In case you haven’t heard, 2011 is the 60th anniversary year for the Telecaster.
Fender have been marking the anniversary with a ‘Telebration’ series, and here are the 3 latest limited editions with only 500 copies of each of these models going into circulation.
The Flame Top Telecaster has an Alder body with AAA Flame Maple Top, Maple neck and fretboard, and American Tele Single-Coil for both the neck and bridge pickups with the neck pickup coming with a gold cover.
The Old Growth Redwood Telecaster uses Aged Redwood for the body, and Maple for both the neck and fretboard. It has 62 Tele Custom Single-Coil Pickups for both bridge and neck pickups.
The Modern Thinline Telecaster is a semi hollow body with an F hole, with Maple neck and fretboard, and two American Tele Single-Coil Pickups.

I don’t have official prices from Fender – but I found each of them selling for $1,799.00 at an American online guitar shop.
