Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue TL62B-TX/MH in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. 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 15oz. 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 Telecaster Custom TL62B-TX/MH 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 very faint buckle rash at the belly contour and a number of minor dings and scratches on the body as whole. The satin finish on the neck profile has been worn to a smooth semi-gloss through play, with a couple shallow nicks along the profile length that have no impact on playability.
A gigbag is included.
