This is a unique pair that you rarely see in your life, not to mention in these conditions.
We all know that Fender made for briefly one year, starting from summer 1968 until 1969, a few Telecasters and Basses with the Paisley and Blue Flower finish. Very Few of these survived and these two examples are in fantastic conditions.
Both of them were shipped in Italy back in the day, and were sourced by their original owners during the very first "vintage mania" period, in the very early 80s. These two were acquired by its second owner back then, and became part of his longterm collection ever since.
I was able to trace down the original owner of the Blue Flower that still had a couple of photographs he took when he owned it.
It was amazing to have these here on my desk for some usual maintenance and setup!
