This is a Japan Exclusive Fender Classic Special 50s Telecaster. I'll paste the specs from the Fender serial lookup below, but basically this is a Tele created in the style of a 1952, even including slotted screws (rather than Phillips head), and a lacquer finish on the body and neck. I don't think it is a 100% faithful recreation, with its v-shaped neck profile, but it is nonetheless a super cool guitar that will send you back in time!


It is from 2015 and is in good condition considering. I have done my best to show its blemishes in my pictures. The strings are corroded and the frets could use a polish but there is very little wear. There is a small ding on the tip of the headstock as well as on the under-side of the first fret area, at the edge of the fretboard. There is also a ding on the body near the jack, and a spot that has some black marks, maybe from a cigarette (??) though the guitar does not at all smell of smoke. Otherwise nothing notable that I see, and the pickguard still seems to have it's plastic sticker covering it! Feel free to write me with questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Here are the specs from the Fender serial lookup. I encourage you to enter it into the lookup yourself because the formatting is better on their site than after copy and pasting:
