SPECS MIGHT NOT BE 100%

The Blue Floral Telecaster was made simultaneously as the Pink Paisley model, and was designed and marketed to cash in on the Flower Power movement at the time.

The same adhesive problem has caused this to receive the same fate. Probably shows even more on these ones because it has a darker color.

The blue flower model is more rare and harder to find than the Pink one. Specs for this guitar (i can only assume) is similar to the Pink one as i have a hard time to source it up.

If you have any insight of the specs, let me know in the comment.
