Crafted in Japan Ash bodied Fender Telecaster with superb soft V maple neck that is both chunky and very comfortable, and far superior to the huge U shaped necks put on 50s reissues these days. Neck pickup is a Texas Special, bridge pickup is a Bareknuckle Brown Sugar. Both sound excellent and the 4-way switch covers up a range of tones from country twang to full on humbucker rock. The guitar has aged to a lovely honey hue over the years and it is setup with great intonation, action and tuning stability. All in all a real players guitar, one of the best teles I've ever used, and a reluctant sale. A few dings but nothing significant, this guitar has loads of life left in the frets and is in excellent condition. Priced according to other similar listings, I am open to sensible offers. Grab yourself a bargain that's stage and studio ready. Please text for further info: 07773304565. Payment can be cash, bank transfer or Paypal gift. I will now post the guitar within the UK, fully insured, for £30.00. LISTING UPDATE:This superb guitar was originally sold to me as a 1993-1994 model, and many guitar dating sites confirm this. Indeed there are other Q series Crafted In Japan guitars on this website listed as 1993-1994. However I have been contacted a lot over the last few days by a potential buyer insisting it's a TL-52 TX 80 RI from 2003. Given this ambiguity, in the interests of fairness I have dropped the price. Regardless of this it is a brilliant telecaster and an instrument I will probably regret selling!
