1986 Fender Telecaster ‘52 Vintage Reissue TL52-75 Butterscotch A-serial, Japan MIJ Fujigen
Up for sale, a 1986 Fender Telecaster ‘52 vintage reissue model TL52-75 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This upper-tiered “Made in Japan” Telecaster was crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, with vintage-correct touches including brass saddles, dome-top knurled knobs, black bobbin pickups, a pencil dated neck heel, and flathead screws used throughout.
Tonewoods include a white ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and this Tele weighs 9lbs 8oz. The vintage-spec TL-Vintage single coil pickups feature black fiber bobbins, cloth-covered leads, alnico magnets, and a brass plate on the bridge pickup. These pickups deliver the iconic tones of the first “Blackguard” Telecasters, with sinewy twang at the bridge and gutsy, smooth chop at the neck.This Telecaster TL52-75 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
