“Hidden in a closet for decades”: Mike Bloomfield’s missing custom-painted ’66 Fender Telecaster – which was lost in 1974 – is going up for sale

A unique 1966 Fender Telecaster once owned and played by blues rock pioneer Mike Bloomfield has been listed for sale at Carter Vintage.

The vintage gear emporium in Nashville, TN, is no stranger to standout signature models – its current stock includes a Gibson Collector’s Edition version of Kirk Hammett’s “Greeny” 1959 Les Paul Standard for $65K – and this six-string is no different.
