Up for sale, a 2012 Fender Rosewood Telecaster model TL-ROSE in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A rare limited run non-catalog Tele made only for the Japanese domestic market, the TL-Rose model features a pair of USA-made Fender American Vintage black bobbin pickups and rosewood veneers on the front and back of the body sandwiching a basswood core.
