Fender Telecaster Keith Richards 1967 'Sonny' RI Three Tone Sunburst CIJ 1997

Here is a very cool late 1990’s Fender 'Sonny' Reissue Telecaster based on Keith Richards' awesome workhorse. Sonny doesn't get mentioned as much as Keith's 'Micawber’, perhaps because Fender USA never built a signature reissue of the guitar. However these are one of the best Telecasters Fender Japan ever issued in our opinion. There were a domestic Japanese release only and are quite hard to find, so when they appear on the market we grab them quickly. This old beauty is a Tokai built CIJ O-Serial from the 1997-2000 period. The body is solid White Ash with a maple neck and fingerboard with vintage 7.25 radius & single-ply black pickguard. It has the correct ‘F’ stamped neckplate. It’s rare to find a three tone sunburst 1967 RI ('Sonny') finish over a Fender '52 RI (most are blond or natural ash). 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 mods and is obviously factory routed for the humbucker.  It is clean with only some scuffing around the edges etc, this one really is a beautiful looking '67. These old 80's & 90's White Ash Sonnys are usually hefty old lumps when we find them but this weighs in at 3.8kg!  It’s a great playing Tele, sweet action & the pickups are both outstanding and work well together. Complete with Telecaster hardcase and key. A very cool one-off 25-year old reissue of Keith Richards legendary 'Sonny'. The only reissue of this guitar Fender have ever made.
