Up for sale, a circa 1986 Fender Rosewood Telecaster '69 vintage reissue model TL69-115 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. An exacting reissue of the rare Telecaster model made famous by George Harrison in the waning days of the Beatles, this instrument is a top-tier example, produced in the golden age of "Made in Japan" production at the Fujigen factory. And while advertised as a '69 reissue, the instrument has the chambered body construction associated with 1971-72 Rosewood Telecasters.

This TL69-115 is outfitted with a modern pair of Fender's American Vintage pickups, direct replacements for the same set that came stock with this instrument. The natural acoustic tone of the rosewood body/neck is lively, detailed and warm, and the black bobbin pickups feature alnico magnet construction with vintage-spec winds and cloth-covered leads, yielding a woody, percussive cut in the neck position and quintessential Tele twang and sparkle with the bridge pickup selected. Weighing 9lbs 4oz, this Rosewood Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
