Fender ’66 RI Albert Collins Telecaster CIJ R Serial (2004) Fully Bound Natural AshHere is a very rare collector's condition Fender Albert Collins RI Telecaster. She's a MIJ JD-Serial (2004) TL66B. That's a '66 custom with a fully bound ash body & maple neck with maple capped fingerboard. She's got vintage style frets with a 7.25 radius & medium oval C-shape neck. This comes from a super limited Fender Japan run. Production has long since finished and they were domestic only, which means they were never made for export outside of Japan. There won't be any more of these built. She's a real beauty with some great ash grain all over the body, cream binding and nice maple grain up the fingerboard/neck. She has the correct 'transition' logo on the headstock just like the Iceman's '66 Custom. And as far as I'm aware this is the only fully bound Ash Telecaster with a maple fingerboard Fender Japan ever built. The '62 reissues (TL62B) were all built with alder bodies with rosewood boards. Anyway, as is always the case with these (I always try to pick them up when I can) she has a beautiful defined & bitey USA made Texas Special in the bridge and a warm, smooth jazzy sounding Dragster humbucker in the neck. Both sound great, but the middle position for me is the sweet spot, pure Albert Collins. She plays like a dream too with a very easy action. She is 100% factory specced with 3-ply white scratchplate, 6 saddles, Fender stamped neck plate & klusion style tuners. There are no issues whatsoever, the neck is dead straight, truss rod fine and frets like new. She still has some of the original pickguard film on (Texas Special sticker is on the removable film), she’s been a case queen for the last 14 odd years. Comes with Japanese gig bag. An absolute beast of a Tele and easily as good as the USA built £3k+ Fender custom shop edition and imo it's all the cooler for not having a signature on the headstock (but that's just me.)
All my guitars are shipped inside their HSC/gig bags in padded purpose designed tough durable boxes. My packaging is indestructible. The guitar will reach you in perfect condition. Message for overseas shipping rates/to see if we ship to your country if outside UK/EU.
