Fender Japan Telecaster 1952 Reissue w/ Factory Bigsby 1999 Translucent Blonde

We love this one. It’s a beautiful ‘52 reissue ash/maple Fender Japan Telecaster with factory fitted Bigsby. It’s a CIJ P-Serial (1999-02). A pretty rare model for Fender Japan, these early Bigsby equipped ‘52s were made for the Japanese market only and never exported outside Japan. It also has big sounding factory USA Texas Special pickups. It has a great looking translucent blonde finish, with nice thick ash grain visible underneath. Very thick V neck profile with a vintage 7.25 radius maple fingerboard. Depth at 1st fret is 23mm and depth at 12th fret is 27mm. Very resonant and feels great to play, plenty of Tele twang and some real bite with the bigsby holding tune with no problem. Neck dead straight, truss rod fine, plenty of life left in the frets. Structurally and electrically sound. No issues at all. No breaks, repairs or routing. Weight is 3.9kg. It is clean overall with a paint chip on one edge. Definitely one of the coolest CIJ Fender Teles we’ve had in a while. Complete with Telecaster hardcase with keys. Don't miss it, once it gone it’s gone.
