Up for sale, a 1990 Fender Telecaster model TL69-115WAL in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with a tweed hardshell case. An extremely rare, non-catalog model produced at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, this TL69-115WAL is stunning in its top-tier features including solid walnut body/neck construction, an ebony fingerboard, USA-made pickups and CTS pots, and a satin nitro lacquer finish.

The tonewoods deliver a bold, lively natural acoustic quality with clear note attack and a complex midrange character. The pickups are the same single coils seen in early American Vintage models, with ample chewy treble cut and zing at the bridge, enhanced by brass block saddles, offering a sweet percussive quality in the neck position. This TL69-115WAL Telecaster weighs 9lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The satin nitro lacquer finish highlights the grain in the walnut body, and cosmetic wear is limited to a few small dings along the lower bout perimeter and concentrated cable rash central to the back. The smooth satin nitro finish on the neck profile is flawless.
