Fender Telecaster TL72-53 | Japan | w/upgraded US Fender pickups | 1997-2000

Hot hot hot; we caught this 24 year old soaking the sun of a Maltese roof with a background of two bell towers and a church  ... afterwhich we decided to partways together to our shop in Sliema, where it is there for you to try it out. Don't miss out; this guitar is hands off one of the nicest sounding ones we had with us. A proper and impressive crispy and treble resonant sound to die for ;) ;) 
 
Here we have Fender TL72-53 crafted in Japan between 1997 - 2000. It is a reissued model of the telecaster made in 1972, the instrument was faithfully reproduced to the exact original guitar with close attention to details such as the "modern logo" it had on it at the time. The body material is Sen which is very similar to Ash wood but with nicer texture which can be seen through its butterscotch worn finish. This wood is a special feature of these Japanese builds. It's a nice piece of resonant Sen, this is what gives it it's strong attack and along the well-defined low mids. The body itself produces a high-quality telecaster sound with a wonderful maple neck adding that treble to the neck pickup's renowned twangy tone! 
 
The fretboard and the body have some wear which are visible in the images, but there's nothing that effects its playability or functionality. The frets are in great shape. This is that kind of telecaster that can give you the experience a high level Japanese quality that will throw you off your chair. The sound is incredible even acoustically, one of the best Tele's we had in our shop to date.
 
The guitar comes along with a soft bag.
