JAPAN IMPORT
This 2013 Fender Japan Telecaster is one of the very popular 1952 Reissue TL-52 TX guitars finished in "Vintage Natural. When it was made it was one of the higher end Telecasters thanks to the factory fitted Fender USA Texas Special pickups. They have a great sound & just start to break up nicely when played clean & have loads of "oomph" when overdriven.
The guitar also has the benefit of some useful upgrades. These are GOTOH Japan Locking Tuners & an "In Tune" bridge which has compensated saddles. The previous owner also changed all the screws on the guitar from cross headed to authentic "slotted" ones which looks quite cool.
This guitar had some use and had a few knocks and dents around the edges when it came in. The most prominent one was on the top edge of the back where an area of lacquer was missing. I have repaired this and it is smooth and polished but is slightly lighter than the rest of the finish. It should darken a little in time.

As stated many times, due to courier damage, all my guitars are shipped in hard cases (usually new) this one being a plain black one. If you are collecting, I'm happy to knock off the price of the case (About £50) & I may even have an old gig bag you can have to take it away in.
If you are further interested in this guitar, you can either email me with any queries & I'll do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
Or, you can buy quickly and safely using the PayPal "buy now" button and I will ship to most UK addresses the next working day. Highlands and Islands can be slightly dearer but I'll keep the cost as low as I can.
