Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Telecaster ‘52 vintage reissue model TL52-80TX in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A discontinued upper-tiered model built for the Japanese domestic market, the TL52-80TX Telecaster offers stiff competition for Fender's American Vintage series instruments. Very faithful to vintage spec, features include a pair of factory-installed Fender USA-made Texas Special pickups, brass bridge saddles, and a deep V neck profile carve.
Fat and throaty in the neck position, chiming and cutting in the middle, and offering a chewy, snappy sparkle and twang in the bridge position, this guitar covers traditional Tele ground, and the slightly overwound Texas Specials offer a bit more midrange fullness and kick. This TL52-80TX weighs 7lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Shape: Deep V, measuring .910” 1st fret, 1.005” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, 7 1/4” vintage-spec radius
-Frets: Slender, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-2
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh
-Serialization: “Crafted in Japan,” P-prefix
Body Specs:
-Wood: Ash
-Pickups: Fender USA Texas Special
-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Serialized “Pat. Pend” bridge base with brass saddles, dome-top knurled knobs
-Plastics: Five-screw one-ply black pickguard, '50s-spec switch tip
The gloss Vintage Natural (Butterscotch) finish highlights subtle bearclaw figuring in the ash, and there are just a few small dings on the body. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless and highlights subtle flame figuring in the maple.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
