Manufactured in Japan and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this rare Telecaster Custom iteration is an extremely well-crafted instrument with a gloss Arctic White finish over a solid ash body.A reinvention of Fender Japan's Telecaster platform, the new Traditional 70s model features USA-made CTS pots, Switchcraft switches, and USA Fender plastic parts. With the stock Wide Range humbucker in the neck position and an upgraded Fender American Original black bobbin single coil at the bridge, this Tele has a very wide tonal spectrum, from thick, meaty humbucker tones in the neck position to chiming, twangy single coil tones at the bridge. Of course the middle position is truly a \"best of both worlds setting,\" and the two pickups balance well both in terms of output and their respective tonal attributes. Weighing 7lbs 12oz, this guitar has a pleasing, crisp acoustic tone with a smooth, complex midrange character. We've had this Tele professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action and accurate intonation.The one-piece maple neck has a chunky U-shaped profile carve with generous shoulder and lightly rolled fretboard edges, measuring .865\" deep at the 1st fret and .920\" at the 12th. The gloss finished maple fretboard boasts slender, vintage-style fretwire that is virtually unplayed with perfectly rounded crowns. The guitar matches vintage Fender spec with a 25 1\/2\" scale length, 7 1\/4\" fretboard radius, and 1.675\" nut width (42.5mm). On the headstock, the Gotoh tuners turn very smoothly and hold pitch as they should.All of the electronics function as intended, with each pickup wired to independent Volume and Tone knobs, in addition to a three-way toggle pickup selector switch. The Wide Range humbucker is original, and the bridge pickup has been upgraded to a Fender American Original Tele single coil with flat alnico pole pieces. The chrome-plated hardware and original plastics are in great shape, save for some light pick scuffing across the strum path. There are just a few faint finish scratches and minor marks on the back of the Arctic White gloss finish, and the gloss on the neck profile is flawless.A gigbag is included.","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42946623865088,"sku":"JD19003057","price":1549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_1122d14b-8966-4325-aa90-a5caaec839f9.jpg?v=1751559649","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2019-fender-traditional-70s-telecaster-custom-left-handed-arctic-white-ash-body-japan-mij","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
