Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62B-BTX in near-mint, 100% original condition. This “Crafted in Japan” Telecaster is an upscale iteration featuring a genuine USA-made Bigsby B5F vibrato tailpiece and a factory-installed pair of USA-made Fender Texas Special pickups.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this Tele weighs 8lbs 13oz. The pair of USA-made Texas Special single coils feature all the hallmarks of vintage Fender pickup construction, with black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads and staggered, unbeveled alnico magnet pole pieces. Slightly overwound for a bit more kick than a traditional pair of single coils, the Texas Specials deliver plenty of snarl, with quintessential Tele twang in the bridge position and sweet percussive cut at the neck. This TL62B-BTX has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Frets: Slender, light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-5

The gloss Candy Apple Red finish is framed on both sides by cream binding, and cosmetic wear is limited to a couple minor dings on the back and a few finish scratches in the clear coat on the lower bout perimeter. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original gigbag is included.
