Up for sale, a 1991 Fender “Order Made” Telecaster ‘72 vintage reissue model TL72 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Tele was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan as part of the Order Made program, which offered numerous non-catalog finish and component options. This Telecaster’s Order Made features include a satin Walnut nitro lacquer finish on both the ash body and maple neck.

The guitar has a bold, lively natural acoustic quality with a complex midrange character, and these qualities are faithfully captured via the single coil pickups. The pickups yield Tele twang and snap, with gutsy punch at the bridge and broader, bell-like cut at the neck. This Order Made Telecaster weighs 8lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
