Here's a very cool and rare Fender Japan Aerodyne Special Edition Telecaster from 2002 - the curviest Tele you'll ever see!

These are very hard to come by and are long out of production. Fender Japan revised the model a couple of years ago, but for some reason decided not to include the P90 pickup or the black finish.

Sleek alder body contour is accentuated by a beautiful cream binding and the absence of the pickguard makes this look like a stealth jet of some classified variety. Ultra-comfy C-shape maple neck has a satin finish on the back, that will never get sticky. 

Electric voice is provided by a vintage-output P90 single-coil in the neck position, reminiscent of early 1960s Gibsons and a true Telecaster single-coil in the bridge position for all your twangy lead lines and soaring solos. Activated together, these pickups have a very balanced sonic palette with plenty of warmth from the P90 and a lot of clarity from the bridge pickup.

Modern-design bridge allows for much more precise intonation thanks to individual steel saddles and the thick baseplate provides great sustain and tuning stability.

The guitar comes in well-played condition with plenty of dings around the body (some of them touched-up) and the back of the neck and pick scratches on the top and "buckle rash" on the back, but no structural damage. 

This instrument received a full professional setup with deep body clean, neck deep clean and full electronics check. Restringed with D'addario 10-46 nickel-plated steel strings.

Please note that although we put our heart and soul and also all our knowledge into every single guitar we sell, a setup is a personal preference. However, we try to get the best playability out of every guitar and set them up so you can play both rhythm and lead. We also pull them all apart to clean and check every single component and replace all unreliable parts with new ones, from dodgy pots to the whole wiring, tuners, string trees, nuts and etc. All the work done is described in detail in the listing.

We make sure that every guitar we sell is problem free and take full responsibility for the accuracy of our listing descriptions. All photographs are done by a professional photographer and processed on a calibrated monitor. Some colours might look slightly different on your monitor, but we will always put the official Fender colour name in the listing description, so please study pictures of other guitars with the same colour if you are unsure. We focus on finding great quality guitars and making them reliable and inspiring to play.

This guitar will be shipped around UK with UPS courier, safely packed into a sturdy guitar cardboard box. 24h courier service provided to UK customers. Worldwide shipping provided as well, but at the moment we don't ship to EU or Northern Ireland  - but please drop us a message if you are in the EU as we might be able to deliver in person.
