Hi There! I am currently selling an amazing and extremely rare MIJ E series Fender Contemporary Telecaster. These beauties were Japanese made and this specific guitar (after tracking the serial number) was made between 1984 - 1987. This one, however, is very different from most teles and most guitars for that matter. It has been customised and fitted with a midi X - Y midi controller screen and a midi output socket (pictured). This amazing feature, after config, enables control and manipulation of any midi operated device. It is currently set up to respond to and control a Korg Kaoss Pad and a whammy pedal. It also has a hold button (pictured) which enables you to hold the effect at a particular of the current effect in use. i.e the rate of a delay time/the note in a pitch shifter/the sweep in a filter (wah wah) etc etc. This button also alters the muti coloured lights to change which looks very cool. This midi x y pad was made popular by Matt Bellamy of Muse. Powered by 1X  9V battery. The guitar functions as a normal guitar with or without the X Y controller in use. It has a coil tap feature which is incredible sounding too. The last time I had the guitar serviced I was told they are original Seymour duncans from the 80's. That being said, I always recommend getting guitars serviced regularly (something I always do with my own) and this one hasn't had a service for a while. Can be quite tricky due to the floyd rose type bridge and neck nut lock. Few minor scratches and a few very tiny chips (pictured) as expected of a guitar of this age. Overall in great condition! Fender Japanese Contemporary Telecaster 1984-1987:- -Fender Schaller Tremolo System -Nut String Lock -Whammy Bar -Coil Tap -X-Y Midi Controller -Hold Button -Fender Strap This is an absolutely amazing and versatile sounding guitar that is incredibly rare. It sounds amazing and does not get used the way it should do, so hopefully it will find a great new home. Any Questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
