Up for sale, a 1994 Fender Telecaster ‘52 vintage reissue model TL52-75 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a molded hardshell case. Produced at the Fujigen factory, this “Made in Japan” Tele is a particularly rare 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.

A one-piece maple neck rounds out the tonewood complement, and this Tele weighs 7lbs 8oz. 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. This TL52-75 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
