Save on the import duty! An exclusive Telecaster for the Fender Japan market, these collectable guitars are highly sought after - offering up cool, not often seen factory specs. A nice noir look, this example sports the rare satin black finish, with three ply anodized Black-Red-Black pickguard, black hardware, a dark rosewood fingerboard with ivoroid dots, contour back, and a matching headstock.

Cosmetically, this guitar is in next to new shape with virtually no play wear present, and hardly a mark in the satin finish - just a few scratches in the pickguard (hey thats what its for!). Original Hybrid II custom wound pickups have a broad bandwidth and excellent clarity. Factory set 4-way pickup selector has typical Tele setup, with added Neck + Bridge in series. Black Fender Pat. Pending Ashtray bridge with slanted black-brass saddles.

The neck has a modern C profile, with a satin urethane finish - a nice and comfortable feel, easy in every position. The neck plays great, with a clean profile, and no wear in the 22 Narrow/Tall frets or fingerboard. The action is low measuring a light 4/64" in height at the twelfth fret. All of which to say - its a great playing Tele.
