2017 Fender Made in Japan Traditional 70s Telecaster Custom Arctic White with new hard case
£829.00 + shipping
JAPAN IMPORT
This Fender MIJ Telecaster Custom reissue has a Fender Dragster humbucker at the neck and a single coil at the bridge and twin volume & tone controls making it quite a different guitar from the usual. With an Ash body, Maple neck & fingerboard, it really stands out and looks great. It also features the 70's Logo & "Custom" transfer on the headstock.
The Telecaster Custom has long been a popular choice for bands like Snow Patrol, U2 & Keith Richards
The condition of the guitar is excellent it's in a more unusual Arctic White. There is a small area of touched in paint near the bottom edge, some small dents on the underside & Some light scratching on the scratchplate. I also noted that the body cavities had all been fully shielded. See gallery photos where all this is highlighted
Since 2015, Fender Made in Japan guitars have been produced at the "Dyna-Gakki" factory in Nagano. This facility has been making fabulous guitars since 1972 for Fender Japan (pre 2015) Greco, Fernandes. The quality of the instruments coming from this factory is superb.

The Ash body means you get a nice light, well balanced Telecaster. The frets have no visible wear & the guitar is a pleasure to play.

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.
