Personal Thoughts:
Pink Paisley Teles are one of the most legendary late ’60s Fender finishes — and when you combine that with Yuri Shishkov Masterbuilt, you’re in the realm of proper high-tier collectible Fenders.
The relic work on these is stunning — period-correct, tastefully worn, and absolutely dripping with that late-’60s psychedelic cool. The transparent pickguard lets the paisley bloom through visually, just like the originals.
Tonally, these Shishkov ’68 builds always seem to have that slightly scooped clarity and tightness you want from late-’60s Telecasters — bright, clean attack with a sweet top end and plenty of cut. Maple neck / maple board gives extra snap and articulation.
A true statement piece — both visually and historically.
Condition Report:
Excellent. Light handling only, no major marks. Factory relic accounts for the aesthetic wear. Case & COA present.
