Here we have an authentic Limited Edition Fender Japan 50th Anniversary Custom Telecaster (Model TLG-70P or TLG-94P), only made between 1994 and 1995.

This specific version was heavily used by 'The Edge' of U2 during their Elevation and Vertigo tours. The guitar looks new and so close to being mint with frets that look new and no playing wear anywhere. I would call it mint except for hard to notice very slight corrosion of the gold metal parts.

Fresh in from a vintage guitar collector estate and has been in a heat controlled smoke free environmnt for over 2 decades. I set the guitar up with some fresh Ernie Ball .10-46 strings after very lightly cleaning and seasoning the fretboard. Ready to plug in and play! Man, what a find!

Comes with a pictured new Deluxe Pro sewn hard shell case with a key.

NOTE: Too cool. We shipped late last summer a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
