Fender Japan Nitro Relic Micawber Telecaster 1952 RI Factory White Blonde 2002
Check out this 25-year old warrior! It's a scarce Fender Japan Micawber '52 RI Telecaster with some really nice refinished nitrocellulose ageing. It’s a CIJ Q-Serial (2002-2004). It was a Japanese domestic Fender and not built for export. It’s a cool Off White Blonde (OWB) 1952 reissue with great sounding Seymour Duncan humbucker in the neck based on Keith Richards ‘Micawber’ Tele. The bridge pick-up is a USA Texas Special. Some nice ash grain is visible underneath the Blonde finish and it has vintage slotted screws. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine and plenty of life left in the frets. Structurally and electrically sound. No issues at all. No breaks, repairs or routing. Weight is 4.3kg. It has a well worn in vintage feel with bumps, dings, paint chips etc. A great playing Tele, the pickups are both outstanding and work well together. There are very few of these about and we always try to grab them when we see them in Japan. Complete with Fender hardcase.
