Up for sale, a 1991 Fender Telecaster ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62-600 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced at the Fujigen factory, this “Made in Japan” Tele is a particularly uncommon model, sporting a Charcoal Burst gloss finish. This "toasted" finish has dark streaking in the transparent butterscotch gloss, highlighting the grain of the American basswood body. 

The pair of TL-Vintage single coil pickups deliver quintessential Tele snap and punch, with chewy twang at the bridge and fuller, bell-like tones at the neck. Weighing 7lbs 6oz, this TL62-600 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

This particular Charcoal Burst presents very well, with prominent dark streaks in the body grain. Given how this dark streaking has a propensity to fade with UV exposure over decades, it's notable the consistency of this finish. There are some minor dings on the body as a whole, primarily concentrated on the back and along the lower bout perimeter. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, free of palm wear with a few shallow marks along the profile length.

A gigbag is included.
