  • No reserve No reserve 
  • Closed: Mon 29 Sep 2008, 9:30 pm
  • Listing #: 177938206
This is a Fender Japan 1952 Reissue Telecaster with Custom Shop Texas Special pickups in excellent condition. It has a vintage correct '52 Fender logo, Fender Patent stamped ashtray bridge, brass saddles, vintage style Kluson tuners, lightweight, resonant ash body with beautiful wood grain, and a gorgeous honey-coloured one-piece V-shaped maple neck with a little bit of fret wear, but 90% left. The build quality on these Japanese reissues is amazing. This one has a real vintage feel and look to it.
There are a few small dings on the back and one on the upper edge, but hardly visible.
The pickups sound beautiful - as you'd expect from Fender USA Custom Shop.
O serial number, Crafted in Japan.
Comes with Fender gig bag.

Questions and answers

Would you call the neck a thick V. Are you able to measure the thickness at the 9th fret from the fingerboard through to the other side of the neck. Also do you know the weight. Fussy aye polanski1 (19 )  8:54 am, Thu 25 Sep
Hi there, I think it's a fairly standard V shape. Depth at the 9th fret is 21mm. I don't have any scales unfortunately, but it feels about average weight for a tele. Cheers. 5:31 pm, Thu 25 Sep
