J.W. Black is a former Fender master builder who continues to craft exquisite guitars and basses even after going independent.
He began his career in the '70s, working for Sadowsky, Rudy's, Fender, and others, as well as repairing vintage guitars as a freelancer (he worked on guitars for Frank Zappa and Eric Clapton, among others), before launching his own eponymous brand.
This model is based on his concept, but is manufactured in Japan to offer a cost-effective option at a reasonable price.
It is manufactured by Sugi, a manufacturer of high-quality guitars in Japan.
This hybrid model is the ultimate Telecaster conceived by Fender's top craftsman, J.W. Black, and is produced by Japan's top guitar brand.
The body is luxuriously crafted from a single piece of ash.
Its beautiful finish in a see-through blonde color that shows off the ash grain.
The neck and fingerboard are maple.
The neck shape is slightly thicker.
The frets and fingerboard edges are carefully finished, providing a comfortable grip without feeling too tight.
The guitar is equipped with two original single-coil pickups.
It features a distinctive, brilliant, and edgy sound.
While packed with the classic Telecaster elements, it also offers high playability and a hot sound ideal for modern musicians.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod and neck are in good condition.
The body and finish show a large dent on the edge of the back of the body. There is dirt on the back of the body and other minor scratches and dirt throughout. There is some tarnish and rust on the metal parts.
