Up for sale, a 1990s Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62B-80 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Telecaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.

This TL62B-80 is lightweight at 7lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
