Here is a superb example of Japanese craftsmanship. It is a 2008 Fender Japan Micawber Telecaster. It’s a CIJ S-Serial (2006-2008). It was a Japanese domestic Fender and not built for export. It’s a cool light Blonde 1952 reissue with great sounding factory installed Dragster humbucker in the neck based on Keith Richards ‘Micawber’ Tele. The bridge pick-up is a USA Texas Special. It has a beautiful opaque blonde finish which we do not see often on the Japanese domestic models, they are usually a natural ash finish. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine and plenty of life left in the frets. Structurally and electrically sound. No issues at all. No breaks, repairs or routing. Weight is superb at 3.4kg, this is very light for an ash Micawber. It has a nice vintage worn in feel with a few little bumps and dings and a dull patina over all the metal hardware inc. the brass bridge & saddles. The two decades of natural aging make it look even better in our opinion. Scuffing and light wear around the edges A great playing Tele, the pickups are both outstanding and work well together. There are very few of these about and we always try to grab them when we see them in Japan. It comes complete with a very cool vintage fitted Japanese leatherette softcase. A stunning Micawber, well along the road to being a naturally aged beauty.
