Up for sale, a 2014 Fender Rosewood Telecaster model TL-ROSE in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A rare limited run non-catalog Tele made only for the Japanese domestic market, the TL-ROSE model features a pair of Fender’s American Vintage black bobbin pickups and rosewood veneers on the front and back of the body, sandwiching a basswood core.

This TL-ROSE weighs 7lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
