This rare and discontinued “Made in Japan” Telecaster features an eye-catching, highly-figured bookmatched quilted maple top on a double bound alder body, finished in a Transparent Blue gloss.\n\nAcoustically, this guitar has a strong natural resonance and chime, faithfully captured by the stock pair of single coil pickups. The pickups deliver a range of classic Tele tonalities, with snappy twang and bite in the bridge position; smooth, harmonically-rich sounds at the neck; and percussive cut and fullness with both engaged. This Telecaster weighs 7lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\n\nThe maple neck has a medium C-shaped profile carve with round shoulders and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .850” deep at the 1st fret and .935” at the 12th. The thick slab rosewood fretboard has a 7 1\/4“ radius and pristine stock slender fretwire, playing cleanly up the 25 1\/2“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod. The nut measures 1.650” (42mm) in width, carved from bone for optimal sustain and note clarity. On the headstock, the Kluson-style tuning machines turn smoothly and hold accurate pitch. The “Made in Japan” text and JD12-prefix serial are present above the four-bolt neck plate.\n\nAll of the electronics function as intended, with the pickups wired to the stock harness and governed by a three-way selector switch and Master Volume and Tone controls. The chrome-plated control plate and flat-topped knurled knobs are notably clean, as is the “Pat. Pend” bridge base, with a very light dusting of surface patina on the vintage-style spiral saddles. Plastics comprise the top hat switch tip and one-ply white pearloid pickguard.\n\nThe gloss Transparent Blue finish is framed on top and back by cream binding and highlights the deep, dimensional wall-to-wall figuring across the bookmatched quilted maple top. This is an exceedingly well-kept Tele, with cosmetic wear limited to just a scant few faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The smooth gloss finish on the neck profile is pristine and highlights subtle figuring in the maple.\n\nThe original Fender-branded padded gigbag is included.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43719770898688,"sku":"JD12026055","price":1849.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_7b9601d6-955c-454d-bf03-c36529d936f6.jpg?v=1751557046","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2012-fender-telecaster-custom-tl62b-qt-trb-quilted-maple-transparent-blue-japan-mij","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
