Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62B-75TX in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This “Crafted in Japan” Tele was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside of its country of origin, featuring a pair of factory-installed USA-made Texas Special pickups and a Candy Apple Red custom color gloss finish.

Weighing 7lbs 8oz, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard. The Texas Special pickups feature all the hallmarks of vintage Tele pickup design, with a brass baseplate and staggered alnico poles on the bridge pickup, black fiber bobbins, and push-back cloth-covered leads. A pickup that has a bit more kick than a traditional Tele thanks with a slightly overwound design, the Texas Specials offer plenty of snap and snarl, with chewy twang at the bridge and bell-like fullness at the neck. This Telecaster Custom TL62B-75TX benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
