On offer is a very well kept 2014 Fender Telecaster 71 reissue (TL71 made in Japan) in a wonderful US Blonde see through finish so you can see the ash grain underneath. Contrasts great with the rosewood neck and is a classy looking Telecaster for those of you who love the workhorse attitude of a Tele but still like it to have some looks too. I must say the ash timber underneath is very striking, excellent timber definition and the pearly white see through finish just gives it a class and beauty that is nice to look at rather than just being a 'work horse' tele in the standard butterscotch or solid colours. Pearl US Blonde offset very nicely with a dark rosewood neck.
Japanese quality very obvious, with great intonation, unplugged resonance and as always, very comfortable necks to play. The neck feels like it has enough to grip on to, not too thin and not too wide or fat, just a really comfortable modern slightly slim feel to it.
Posted in its Fender carton with plenty of packaging, and FREE POSTAGE to anywhere in Australia. I have shipped stacks of guitars, so you will get is as described and out the door the same door where possible! Small chip on the bottom edge of the guitar that is not visible unless you go looking but overall in pretty good nick, with electronics working perfectly with no crackling or any issues. Neck is straight, vintage sized frets in nearly perfect order and absolutely nothing to be done at all. Plug and play.
Fast postage out the door the same day where possible.
Here are the specs:
Model: Fender Japan '71 Reissue Telecaster (TL71-58)
Made: Japan, Dyna plant, 2014 (as per serial number)
Finish: US Blonde, 3-ply white guard
Body: Ash
Neck: one piece maple w/ maple board and skunk stripe, 25.5" scale, 7.25" radius
Frets; Vintage size (this is the most accurate infomation I can find on the net, but narrow/tall is how they are described and feel on the neck. Very comfortable to get around on.
Pickups: Fender Japan TL-Current single coils (not changed to my knowledge) but very full sounding and surprisingly low hum on high gain. No need to change them but of course, you know how we guitarists are like!!
Otherwise straight up Telecaster from Fender in the classic 70s style, a workhorse, stays in tune (well that's another great thing about Teles) neck is comfortable and a good looking instrument too! Sorry, I don't have a gig bag but will be packaged very carefully in a guitar carton/bubble wrap etc!
Peace to all.
