JAPAN IMPORT
This "top of the range" Fujigen FGN NTE-210-RAH Black Telecaster definitely ticks all of the boxes and is just fabulous. Yet again, the Japanese craftsmen always manage to impress & this guitar is just gorgeous. Ash body, Compound radius fretboard, locking tuners, Seymour Duncan pickups & a lacquer top coat. Just wow!
This guitar retails at around £1200-£1300 in the UK if you can get one.
This particular guitar just has some light playing marks. No dents, chips or obvious scratches. It really is a beautiful thing!
The Neo Classic series.
Neo Classic NTE is a guitar based on the traditional T style, but with new elements incorporated throughout to meet modern needs.
This model is a combination of an Ash body, Rosewood fingerboard, and black color.
As it is a high-end model of the 200 grade, it is equipped with Seymour Duncan PU and has a top-coat lacquer finish, making it a higher-grade specification.
The fret edge treatment supports smooth fingering, and the recently popular "compound radius fingerboard" is also used to reduce stress when playing. The neck grip has also been highly praised by many users, who say it is "not too thick or too thin, making it easy to hold."
The side position marks are made of Luminray (phosphorescent), which improves visibility.
The neck joint plate, which is the heart of the detachable (bolt-on) structure bass, is made of stainless steel. We place importance on good sound rise, and the locking screws are also made of stainless steel.
The pickups are a combination of Seymour Duncan '59 and Vintage '54. In addition to the crisp sound of the TL type rear PU, the front PU is an orthodox humbucker, allowing for a wider range of sound creation.
The controls are 1 volume, 1 tone, and 4-way lever switch. The lever switch can be switched between F (hum) - F (tap) - F (tap) + R - R.

The compound radius fingerboard has smaller (rounder) radius towards nut while larger (flatter) radius towards neck end i.e. similar to a shape of a cone.This allows for much easier chord playing at lower frets while having less stress, especially when bending strings at higher registers.
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
So to sum up, an excellent guitar from Fujigen Japan. This model is not so easy (or as cheap) to find here in the UK unless you import it. Why not play something that's just a little bit different?
