2008 Fender Order TN72-SPT '72 Telecaster Thinline Spruce Top, Mahogany Back, Ebony Fretboard
2008 Fender Japan TN72-SPT Spruce Top '72 Telecaster Thinline in Natural (NAT) finish. This extremely rare model was a shop order by Walkin' Music Shibuya, featuring a two-piece spruce top (SPT), two-piece mahogany back, slab ebony fretboard, and fat 50's neck profile—a combination of features found exclusively on this model.
This example has had a headstock break professionally repaired by Portland Fretworks, as it was damaged in transit from Japan.
100% fully functional.
Condition
Cosmetically the 18+ year old instrument is in good condition, with various minor dings, scratches, and finish wear commensurate with age. Dings are relegated primarily to body edges. Hardware has minimal patina.
