Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, and Tomoyasu Hotei.
This model is a Telecaster manufactured in 1962.
It features an early 1962 specification with a slab-wood Jacaranda fingerboard, and details unique to this period, such as a patent-printed headstock decal, clay dot inlays, and a slightly thicker pickguard.
Furthermore, it is said that very few Telecasters from this period were produced, and since this was during the transition period from late 1962 to round-wood fingerboards, this '62 model with a slab-wood finish is especially rare.
The body grain is ash, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is Jacaranda.
The blonde refinish gives it a truly Telecaster-like appeal.
Furthermore, this instrument weighs an impressive 3.14kg, demonstrating the use of high-quality materials.
The body and neck have weather-checked, giving it a very dignified look.
The neck shape is slightly slim, and it has been refretted and the nut replaced, providing excellent playability.
The current string height is 2.0mm on the 6th string and 1.5mm on the 1st string, allowing for comfortable playability.
The pickups are two black bobbin single-coil pickups.
In addition to the brilliance that is characteristic of Fender, they produce a thick, fat tone.
A world apart from the commonly-held image of a "bright Telecaster sound," this guitar features a distinctive, thick, and powerful sound.
It is versatile, from chord work to lead playing, and is highly accurate to the player's picking nuances.
Although it features a simple combination of two single-coil pickups and a 3-way selector, it produces a wide range of tones that can be expressed differently by the player.
This is a guitar that truly allows you to experience the depth that only a vintage Telecaster can offer.
This is a highly valuable model worthy of ownership not only as a collector but also as a player.
Please consider this guitar.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is stiff but has been confirmed to move about 120 degrees.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show signs of weathering throughout.
There is tarnish, scratches, and rust on the metal parts.
There are dents on the side of the body near the jack, a dent on the fingerboard near the 12th fret, and scratches and dents on the neck.
The paint on the back of the neck is peeling.
The decal on the headstock is slightly faded. The pickguard has cracks and scratches, and is worn around the truss rod. There is also some lifting.
The electrical system is in excellent condition.
The instrument has been refretted, the nut replaced, the body refinished blonde, the pots and capacitors replaced, and the rear pickup rewound.
