2025 Fender Made in Japan FSR Traditional 60's Custom Telecaster Candy Apple Red and new hard case
£899.00 + shipping
JAPAN IMPORT
Here's a 2025 guitar that's so new, I think it only just came out of the box! It's in near mint condition and looks to have only been played once or twice. The film is still on the scratchplate. This particular custom model and finish is listed as an "FSR" or "Factory Short Run" from Fender in Japan and is a very pretty thing!
There are no marks scratches dents or scrapes that I can find & this guitar, if you can get one is sold new at around £1250.00 supplied with a gig bag. So grab a great deal and get a new hard case too.
For info:
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.

Fender Blurb...
The Made in Japan Traditional series is derived by combining the aesthetics of traditional Fender musical instrument production with the sophisticated craftsmanship of Japan. Fender's orthodox DNA is revived with reliable Made in Japan quality. Made in Japan Traditional '60s Telecaster® has a gloss finish basswood body. A 9.5-inch radius "U" shaped maple neck with 21 vintage-style frets provides a classic performance that is unique to the Traditional series. A vintage-style Tele® bridge with three threaded steel saddles, and an original pick-up selected for the Traditional series, delivers a realistic, musical vintage tone. The narrowly designed nut width makes it easy for Japanese players to play. Solid guitar craftsmanship and flexible answers to player needs are reflected in this series.

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.
