Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘72 vintage reissue model TC72-70 in perfect working order, complete with a Fender-branded hardshell case. This “Made in Japan” model is a faithful and well-crafted reissue, featuring an upgraded Fender USA Wide Range humbucker.
This Telecaster has a broad tonal spectrum, with the upgraded Fender USA Wide Range humbucker in the neck position and a traditional Tele single coil at the bridge, offering thick, meaty humbucker tones and chiming, twangy single coil snap. Engaging both pickups yields a “best of both worlds” sound with great warmth and articulation. This TC72-70 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
