Up for sale, a 2011 Fender Telecaster Custom '62 vintage reissue electric guitar in near mint condition and in perfect working order. This "Made in Japan" Telecaster is a rare model, meant only for the Japanese domestic market, and features a Candy Apple Red finish and aged white binding on the top and back of the instrument for a classic Fender look. Officially model TL62B this guitar has a range of traditional Tele tones, with bite, chime, and twang in the bridge position, a clear and balanced middle position, and a neck pickup that has roundness and warmth while still being cutting and bell-like. The guitar weighs in at 8lbs 6oz. Professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Tele is strung with 10-46 strings and has low, slinky action.

The one-piece maple neck profile has a quintessential medium C shape that borders on the more slender side of things, with sloping shoulders and a very fast, comfortable feel. The slab rosewood fretboard boasts Fender's traditional 7 1/4" fretboard radius, with a 1 5/8" nut and vintage style fretwire that's virtually unplayed. The guitar has a responsive truss rod and plays cleanly in all registers with no buzzing or dead spots. On the headstock, the Kluson style Gotoh tuning machines turn smoothly and hold pitch well.

All of the stock electronics work as they should, and the chrome hardware is essentially mint. The "Pat. Pending" bridge plate and finely grooved metal saddles are consistent with 1962 Fender spec too. Cosmetically, this is a well cared for and sparingly played instrument, with a couple extremely faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the back. The Candy Apple Red gloss finish is vibrant and rich with a hint of metalflake sparkle. Overall, this is a very clean and well kept guitar!
