The Legendary 1980s Fujigen Craftsmanship

Up for sale is a highly sought-after Fender Japan CTL-50M (Standard Telecaster) from the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing. Built by the legendary Fujigen factory between 1984 and 1987, this "E-Serial" Telecaster represents the pinnacle of MIJ quality that rivals, and often exceeds, its American counterparts of the same era.

​True Player's Condition & "Mojo"

This guitar is not a museum piece—it’s a true workhorse that has been played and loved for nearly 40 years. It features natural relic wear, paint chips, and dings that give it an authentic, undeniable "Mojo." If you are looking for a pristine, untouched guitar, this is not for you. But if you want a highly resonant, perfectly broken-in Telecaster with real history, soul, and killer tone, this is exactly what you are looking for.

​Verified & Honest

To ensure complete transparency and authenticity, I have removed the neck to verify the pocket stamps. It is clearly stamped "CTL-50" on the body and "CTL-50M" on the neck, confirming its identity as a factory-original Maple fretboard Standard model. (Please check the detailed photos).

Specs:

​Model: Fender Japan CTL-50M (Standard "Current" Telecaster)

​Serial Number: E-Serial (1984-1987)
