This is a 1987 E series Fender Contemporary Black Faced Telecaster HSS with Kahler Trem Unit, Sierra Spruce Metallic in fabulous Condition just the tiniest of marks and they are in the pics for you to see. Nothing much really, when this beauty is 34 years old.
This is 'THE' supreme Factory produced Telecaster.. I can't think of anything that comes close in terms of build quality or tonal variation that isn't a Custom Shop or a luthier Handbuild.... And that is a BOLD statement.
Built in the Fuji Gen Gakki plant, in Japan, Even Leo fender believed that these were the best Fenders ever built.
The perfect finish on the body is, I believe, Sierra Spruce, which a Pre CBS fender colour and certainly the closest that I've found during research. it is also slightly metallic. The body is full thickness at 45 mm and feels really chunky.
These Teles have 22 frets this one, Unusually has a beautiful D shaped slim tapered, skunk striped neck with the slightly warmer sounding Rosewood fretboard. Very commonly these guitars has Black painted necks to match the headstock.
They also come with the Micro tilt feature again this is very unusual for a Tele but all the Contemporary MIJ Teles have it.. 
The pickups used in the Contemporary models were manufactured by Fuji Gen. All the pickups used on the Contemporary models are Alnico and NOT ceramic pickups. The humbucking pickups used in the Contemporary models have a DC resistance which is approximately 7.6 kiloohms. The single coil pickups used in the Contemporary models have a DC resistance which is approximately 5.6 k.
Some of the earlier versions had the TBX tone control but this Later version with its Kahler Trem does not feature TBX.
So whats so great about this Telecaster... Basically.... everything!!
The Japanese Pickups are Crisp and Clear and articulate, not to mention powerful. The simple switching system lets you turn the pups on or off and the the Humbucker is a 3 way so you can have the Single coil bridge tone or the Full on Humbucker sound.
These options of course let you play in Classic tele mode with single Bridge and neck selected, or indeed in the style of the standard strat  with 3 single coils but with the option of that HM humbucker if you really want to rock.
You also have the Kahler trem system and locking nut which will let you dive bomb to your heart's content without going out of tune. Comes with the Original whammy bar which is a rarity in itself.
The tuners are Gotoh ...another company with exceptional Japanese heritage.
Build Quality is exceptional as is finish. The quality of components used has to be top notch to return a tone like this thing has .. it's a monster.
I am totally happy to keep it its mint so I won't be negotiating very much I must warn you guys.
Its the best tele I've ever owned and played and to find one in this condition is almost unheard of.

You can view or Play or Collect the guitar from very Near Colchester in Essex.
