對於尋求「非典型經典」的收藏家來說，International Series 是 Fender 在 70 年代末期最大膽的嘗試。當時 Fender 為了在視覺上尋求突破，推出了九種源自汽車烤漆的特殊色，而這款 Sahara Taupe (撒哈拉褐色)，正是其中最優雅、最耐看的代表作。 作為 International Series 的成員，這款顏色只在 1978 至 1981 年間極短暫地生產。Sahara Taupe 擁有一種低調卻深邃的大地質感，隨著數十年的歲月沉澱，漆面呈現出如沙漠夕陽般的迷人光澤。這是任何現代噴漆都無法模擬的自然「時間風味」。在市場上，International Series 往往因為顏色特殊而被過度改裝或損傷。而這把 1978 年的 Telecaster 經過當年還保持是全原裝，漆面的自然老化與琴金屬件的自然氧化痕跡，正是資深玩家最追求的「實戰」

We just received this stunning 1978 Fender, part of the International Series—a cool piece of Fender history! The Sahara Taupe finish is one of the rarer colors, so you won't find many in their original finish. This particular guitar has been well-maintained and remains all original.

It's in excellent condition, especially considering it's nearly 50 years old. There are a few dings and some normal player wear, but nothing major. The neck is in great shape, with plenty of life left in the frets. Plus, it comes with the original hard case.
