Hello thanks for looking

I am selling this very rare early 1990's Fender Telecaster, iThe alder body features a Foto Flame maple top. The Foto flame maple neck features a 7.25 inch rosewood fingerboard with vintage frets. The whole guitar is finished in a gorgeous cherry sunburst. It has no visible cracks. The bodies on these Foto Flames are made from Alder with a Basswood cap which dent and crack easily, so you have to be careful with them! If you're looking to buy one and the auction or add says there are some small finish cracks, take note, as these cracks can be all the way down through the flim into the wood. The flame is a photographic film that was designed most likely by Fuji. They really have a nice look. There were also some of these that were released with a Natural in a White Asian Ash, often called Sen. These are very rare and are very high quality guitars.


These were made between later 1995 to early 1997 and every one of these guitars will have a serial number starting with either a "T" or a "U" unless someone has swapped necks. Inside the neck pocket on the body, it will be marked DT (Deluxe Telecaster). The body is beveled front and back like a Strat and makes the guitar more comfortable to play. Down under the peariod pickguard, the routing on these Teles are very vintage. The Strat routes are identical to a 62 Strat and the bridge route is like a vintage Tele. Since these Teles have 3 pickups like a Strat they have a Strat style 5-way switch. Unlike a Strat, they have a Tele bridge with the strings going through the body. This combination really is great for getting a large variety of sounds. 


These Teles are not to be confused with the 3 pickup Nashville Teles which have Tele neck and bridge pickups, with a Strat pickup sandwiched inbetween. These DX Teles come stock with 2 Strat pickups and a Tele bridge pickup.


Like most Japanese made Fenders, this Tele plays and sounds great. Top notch quality. The neck feels great and has nice action. The pickups offer a variety of tones, from lo fi garage to blues rock. It's a solid guitar showing one or two minor nicks/impressions that don't go through the finish. Certainly no finish cracks and in overall excellent condition. Very cool looking. Comes in a Fender red label Hardshell case.


Fender Japan guitars have become favorites of many players looking for great quality at a great price. They have become more collectible in recent years. This Tele would be a nice addition to your arsenal.
