2000s Fernandes TE-85T Ash Telecaster MIJ - Takuya Signature Japan Transparent Red

Overview
A Fernandes TE-85T Made in Japan Telecaster finished in Transparent Red over a beautifully figured ash body.

Part of Fernandes’ higher end domestic market range, the TE-85T is closely associated with Takuya of the hugely influential Japanese rock band Judy and Mary. Combining classic Telecaster styling with modern Japanese engineering, it features the factory FGI active pickup system, black hardware and a highly resonant ash body. The transparent finish highlights the grain exceptionally well and gives the guitar a distinctive appearance that stands out from more traditional Telecaster finishes.
