Fender Japan 1962 RI Nitro Finished Custom Telecaster 2024 Three Tone Sunburst
Up for grabs is this very nice Fender Japan nitro finished Heritage Custom Telecaster from Fender Japan (this is not a Mexican guitar). It's in a beautiful deep warm three tone sunburst with cream body binding. It has some nice alder grain patterns. Some really nice tonewoods were used for this one. The Alder body is showing some lovely grain under the nitrocellulose finish. Nice looking & feeling slab rosewood fingerboard with 7.25 radius. Sonically the pickups sound great. Really resonant too when unplugged and feels great to play. Weight is on the lighter side for an alder Tele at 3.4kg. Structurally and electrically sound. Neck dead straight, truss rod fine, plenty of life left in the frets. No issues at all. No breaks or repairs. There are a few bumps and dings, no chips in the lacquer etc but the ageing laces has begun with this one! Complete with Telecaster hardcase. All pictures are of actual guitar. We do not use stock pictures.
