This is a Fender Japan Telecaster “TL52-HH,” commonly referred to as the “Tele-Gib.”

The serial number reads Made in Japan with a U0 + 5-digit format, indicating production between 2010 and 2012.

This model was created as an homage to the Tele-Gib used by Jeff Beck. More information about the Tele-Gib can be found on Wikipedia.

Like what would now be considered an FSR-style release, this was a shop-limited model produced at the time and was not listed in the official catalog. The color is OWB (Off White Blonde). The condition is also excellent, so if you have been looking for one, please do not miss this opportunity!

There are almost no noticeable marks, not even minor scratches. The protective film is still on the pickguard, and the frets show almost no wear. Considering this guitar is around 15 years old, it remains in exceptionally clean condition. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is in display-model-level condition.

Included:
Original gig bag
*The zipper on the case pocket is broken and does not close.
Original warranty card from the time of purchase.

Please note that this is a used item.
