A 1967 Fender Telecaster with a Maple Cap neck is a rare and highly desirable vintage guitar — especially among collectors and tone purists. The “Maple Cap” detail is particularly significant, as it was only available during a short production window. 

1967 Fender Telecaster – Maple Cap Overview

 What is a “Maple Cap” Neck?

• A maple cap neck is a two-piece maple neck construction:

  • One piece for the neck

  • One separate maple slab fingerboard glued on top

• No “skunk stripe” on the back — unlike one-piece maple necks with a rear-installed truss rod.

• Used from late 1965 to mid-1969, with rosewood fingerboards being more common during that time.

• Fender returned to one-piece maple necks in 1969.

 In 1967, this was a special-order option or produced in very low numbers, making original Maple Cap '67 Teles quite rare.
