Fender Made in Japan Traditional '70s Telecaster Custom in Black

This Fender MIJ Traditional '70s Telecaster Custom is finished in a classic Black colour with Maple fretboard. Unusually for a guitar with a solid finish, this instrument has a traditional Ash body. Ash is used increasingly sparingly on modern guitars due to its scarcity, usually being reserved for guitars with a transparent finish.

Built with all the attention-to-detail for which Fender’s Japanese craftspeople are renowned, this MIJ Tele Custom provides player-friendly performance thanks to a modern 9.5” radius fretboard. The MIJ “U”-shaped neck is complemented by vintage frets for a period feel. By combining the vintage-style single-coil bridge pickup with a fat-sounding Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, Fender added some beef to the traditional Tele® bite.

A vintage-style Tele® bridge with three chrome barrel saddles gives this Telecaster its characteristic twang, while Vintage-Style Locking tuning machines offer period-correct aesthetics, classic feel and rock-solid tuning stability. Other features include three-bolt neck plate, chrome hardware and vintage-style strap buttons.
