2006 Fender Telecaster Custom '62 Vintage Reissue TL62B Black w/ USA Pickups, Japan CIJ

Up for sale, a 2006 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62B in excellent  condition and in perfect working order, complete with upgraded pickups and a six-saddle bridge. This “Crafted in Japan” Tele was produced for the Japanese domestic market, long since discontinued and uncommon outside its country of origin, featuring a gloss Black finish framed by white top and back binding. Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, providing a balanced, smooth platform for the pickup pair. These single coils are faithful to vintage spec with black fiber bobbins, staggered alnico pole pieces and cloth-covered leads. The pickups have a full-bodied sound with percussive cut, chewy twang and taut low end. The guitar weighs 8lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
