Fender MIJ Limited Sparkle Telecaster Silver 2023 Electric Guitar

Here for sale we have a Fender MIJ Limited Sparkle Telecaster Electric Guitar in Silver finish. Made in Japan in 2023, this guitar consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Narrow Tall frets, a 6-Saddle String-Thru-Body Hardtail bridge, Vintage-Style locking tuners, and a set of Filter'Tron Blacktop pickups. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector. 

The Maple neck plays well, with Fender's popular Modern 'C' profile feeling comfortable in the hand and offering comfortable playability in all registers. The Rosewood fingerboard provides a durable playing surface, and with its 9.5" radius strikes a nice balance between easy chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The familiar lines of the Telecaster body feel as great in the arms as ever, and provide a comfortable playing experience in both standing or seated positions. 

The Black Top Filter'Tron pickups were also MIJ by Gretch and have a punchy sound with plenty of brightness and high end presence. Due to the biting tone it is great for styles like rock or blue, cutting through with leads, however they can handle almost any style you throw at them thanks to the volume and tone controls allowing you to really personalise the tone. The neck pickup offers a slightly darker and thicker tone compared to the brighter bridge pickup which still offers plenty of warmth to each note.
