Fender is the undisputed number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, and Abe Futoshi.
The TL52 is a Telecaster from the highly regarded yet now defunct Fender Japan brand (integrated into the Fender brand).
True to its model name, it's based on the 1952 Telecaster.
The body uses Ash.
While Fender Japan often uses Basswood, it's a welcome point that it uses the same wood as the traditional Telecaster.
The neck and fingerboard are Maple.
It features TL-Vintage pickups.
Its sound is characterized by a crisp attack with excellent response.
The neck pickup delivers a thick, mellow tone, while the bridge pickup produces a crisp, powerful sound.
