Up for sale, a 1984 Fender JV Telecaster '52 reissue model TL52-65 in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. This early JV-serial Tele was offered in the third year of Fender Japan production as part of the "Japanese Vintage" (JV) line, which only lasted from 1982-84. Extremely highly regarded and representative of Fender’s first Blackguard Teles, this TL52-65 features numerous vintage-spec touches including a flat pole black bobbin bridge pickup, a pencil dated neck heel, proper domed knobs and ‘50s switch tip, and flathead screws used throughout.
Built on the traditional platform of a premium ash body and one-piece maple neck, this guitar is a dynamic and soulful instrument with the expected midrange push, resonance, and treble articulation of its tonewoods. The bridge pickup features a brass baseplate and flush-mounted Alnico pole pieces, delivering dynamic, chewy twang, while the neck pickup has a fat, woody quality with bell-like trebles. The guitar weighs 7lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
