Description: Up for sale, a 1985 Fender Telecaster ‘72 vintage reissue model TL72-55 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This “Made in Japan” Telecaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market at the famed Fujigen factory, uncommon outside its country of origin. The guitar features a traditional '50s Fender tonewood complement, with an ash body and a one-piece maple neck. The instrument has a punchy acoustic sound with a kick in the midrange and healthy sustain, weighing 9lbs 1oz. The original pair of TL-Vintage single coil pickups deliver quintessential Tele tonalities: the flat-pole bridge pickup offers twang and percussive cut, while the neck pickup is round and bell-like. This Telecaster has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
