1992 Fender Japan TL-105 order Telecaster in 2-tone sunburst (2T).

An unofficial Jerry Donahue model—an amalgamation of the 1990 Fender USA Custom Shop and 1992 Fender Japan versions, including the proprietary 5-way switching. This iteration features a unique configuration: mahogany body with birdseye maple veneers, binding, and gold hardware.

This is the only documented example for this order number and specification.

Manufactured at the Fujigen factory in Japan. “A” serial prefix; pots dated 1992. Order “K-239”.

100% fully functional and original (except for replaced strap buttons).

What are Fender Japan "Order Made"/"Order" instruments?
FujiGen "Order Made" instruments—a continuation from the original 1970’s Greco production methodology—designated non-catalog/custom orders. This system was integrated with normal factory production work, with prioritization of parts being pulled off the normal production line to fulfill requests, with minimal disruption to maintain efficiency. The “Order Made” stamps were quickly succeeded by the "Order", "K", "Y", etc prefix stamps—but the system effectively remained the same. Handwriting in the pocket sometimes denotes a one-off order, while numbered stamps are runs of multiple instruments.
