Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue TL62B-MBK in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag and hangtags. A very rare Fender Japan model with a gloss Black finish and matching headstock, this Tele represents a middle ground between a more traditional '62 Telecaster Custom and an Aerodyne model, given the belly carve, bound top, and matching Black peghead. Other features include USA-made Texas Special pickups, spiral (threaded) saddled, and a satin-finished neck profile.
Tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this Tele weighs 7lbs 6oz. Fender’s USA-made Texas Special pickups feature all the hallmarks of vintage Tele pickup design, with a brass baseplate and staggered alnico poles on the bridge pickup, black fiber bobbins, and push-back cloth-covered leads. A pickup that has a bit more kick than a traditional Tele thanks to a slightly overwound design, the Texas Specials offer plenty of snap and snarl, with chewy twang at the bridge and smooth, bell-like cut at the neck. This TL62B-MBK has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish is framed on top by cream binding, and cosmetic wear includes buckle rash central to the back, some scuffing along the body perimeter, and scattered minor dings on the lower bout. The neck profile has a smooth satin finish, with several tiny marks along the profile length that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.
The original gigbag is included, along with the hangtags, which are dated to the 16th year of the Heisei era (translating to 2004).
