Up for sale, a 1986 Fender Telecaster ‘67 vintage reissue “Sonny” model TL67-70SPL in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags. The only iteration ever offered by Fender of Keith Richard’s #2 Tele “Sonny,” this rare and long ago discontinued “Made in Japan” Telecaster was produced in particularly small numbers exclusively for the Japanese domestic market as part of the Limited Edition Collector’s Series at the Fujigen factory. While Keef’s “Micawber” Telecaster often gets the majority of the limelight, his “Sonny” Tele is an equally vital part of the Stones’ sound.
Just like Richard’s own Tele, this TL67-70SPL features a maple neck with maple cap fretboard, paired with an uncommonly figured white ash body. This guitar can easily deliver Keef’s cutting, powerful tones; offering smooth sustain and a dynamic, nuanced response with ample midrange heft, snappy, sparkling highs, and plenty of Tele twang with the bridge pickup favored.This TL67-70SPL weighs 10lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss three-tone Sunburst finish highlights dynamic figuring in the white ash body, and there are just a few minor nicks along the perimeter. On the neck profile, there are a few shallow marks behind frets 1-5 that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
The original gigbag is included, along with the hangtags and serialized warranty card, dated to expire in the 62nd year of the Showa era (translating to 1987).
