This is one of a limited batch of Japanese domestic only Fender FSR guitars that are due in to us next month, place your order now as they will sell out quickly and due to the small numbers made we will not get anymore of this particular model after this consignment. Once they are all sold on pre-order this listing will be removed.
You will not see this one for sale in your local Western guitar shop. It's the signature model for well respected Japanese guitarist Souichiro Yamauchi, Fujifabric's vocalist and lead guitar player. This model was developed by Yamauchi, who plays both a '54 Telecaster and a Fiesta Red Strat, to embody his ideal guitar that combines the best of both. The ash body with a white satin finish has a thin line structure with the left and right sides hollowed out, leaving the center section open. Combined with the Cunife Wide Range Humbucker mounted on the original machined aluminum pickup ring, it produces a thick and warm tone. In addition, the bridge position is equipped with a Custom Wired Vintage Style Single Coil Tele that follows the specifications of his favorite 1954 Telecaster, but was developed for a more powerful tone. Emphasis was placed on the Telecaster's bridge structure, which it is said transmits string vibrations more directly to the pickup, so Fender have fitted a Telecaster bridge. It looks pretty unique and also pretty cool in our opinion. The neck profile is based on Yamouchi's favorite '54 Telecaster, and while it is thick, the nut width is narrowed for a comfortable grip (nut width 42mm). It is equipped with a direct switch for the neck pickup, an idea that allows you to quickly switch from backing to lead guitar.
It is in as new unplayed condition with booklet tools, tags and Fender branded softcase. In perfect shop fresh condition. Pickguard and pickups have the clear protective peelable clear film on. As these are all new and mint condition we have not taken individual pics of each guitar as we usually do with our used guitars, so the serial number will obviously differ from the one in the pic. Guitar is without wear or blemishes. We will not be offering these again so be quick!
