2024 Fender MIJ FSR Traditional II 60's Telecaster Custom Black & new hard case
£949.00 + shipping
This Fender MIJ Telecaster Custom is from the current "Traditional II" series 60's Telecaster Custom but this particular guitar is a special order FSR or "factory short run" It features a colour matched headstock and is all in black with white binding on the body. It also has an Alder body rather than Basswood on the other Trad Series guitars. It looks simply stunning and it is in near mint condition. Just some light playing marks
I've done some research and I found a couple of these for sale on "Reverb" & "Ebay" on both occasions these were used and priced around £900.00 and both from Japanese sellers. That basically means that you then have to add the shipping from Japan (Over £100) and 20% VAT & Import duty on to the listed price. The eventual price is around £1200.00 and it's delivered in a thin gig bag. So, I know that my prices, like everyone else's have had to rise but I still believe that my guitars are significantly cheaper
Since 2015, Fender Made in Japan guitars have been produced at the "Dyna-Gakki" factory in Nagano. This facility has been making fabulous guitars since 1972 for Fender Japan (pre 2015) Greco, Fernandes. The quality of the instruments coming from this factory is superb.

The Alder body means you get a nice light, well balanced Custom, bound bodied Telecaster. The frets have no visible wear & the guitar is a pleasure to play.

As stated many times, due to courier damage, all my guitars are shipped in hard cases (usually new) this one being a plain black one. If you are collecting, I'm happy to knock off the price of the case (About £50) & I may even have an old gig bag you can have to take it away in.

Or, you can buy quickly and safely using the PayPal "buy now" button and I will ship to most UK addresses the next working day. Highlands and Islands can be slightly dearer but I'll keep the cost as low as I can.
