Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Limited Edition ‘72 Telecaster model TL72-65 V3 Snake Print in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Sparingly little information is available on this extremely rare “Crafted in Japan” Telecaster, with few known to exist both inside and outside of Japan, featuring a non-catalog Snake Print (snakeskin) finish on the top, back and pickguard.
Tonewoods include a basswood body and a one-piece maple neck, and this TL72-65 V3 weighs 8lbs 1oz. The pair of single coil pickups deliver classic Tele snap and sparkle, with gutsy twang at the bridge and smooth, bell-like cut at the neck. This TL72-65 V3 Snake Print has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, dialed in with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
