Vintage 1991 Fender Japan Telecaster 1962 RI FujiGen Built Candy Apple Red
So here is a very cool old Fender MIJ Candy Apple Red 62' RI Telecaster (TL62B). This was Fender Japan's top of the line Tele. All the good stuff. Double bound alder body, dark rosewood slab fretboard and heaps of vintage mojo. It's date penciled to 1991 under the clearcoat on the neck heel and is from back when Fender stamped the neckplates on their ’62 Telecasters. The double body binding has aged beautifully on this Tele, having naturally faded to a deep dark vintage yellow over the decades, it looks superb against the CAR body (pics). It plays great too, nice action with plenty of bite & twang if you want it courtesy of the 3 saddles. The lightweight body feels very resonant, it tips the sales at 3.5kg. It's all factory correct with the 3-ply white pickguard, 3 spiral saddles, Fender A-Serial stamped bridge plate and TL vintage pups. Just the selector switch tip looks to have been replaced a long time ago. No issues either electrically or structurally. Neck fine, frets fine, truss rod fine. Being from 1990 it is not new & not mint with plenty scrapes, paint nicks and dimples etc but nothing bad has ever happened to it, no horrible mods or routing etc. The plastic selector switch tip has a crack but still holds fine. The FujiGen poly looks and feels very thin, which you often find on these late 80’s/early 90's Teles. It adds to the resonance of this guitar & also looks pretty cool. The mojo on this thing is off the scale. Complete with Telecaster hardcase and key. Don't miss it.
