Fender Made in Japan Traditional '70s Telecaster Ash CAR 2017 w/ Slusser Custom Hardware

Fender Made in Japan Traditional '70s Telecaster Ash CAR 2017 w/ Slusser Custom Hardware

The first special Telecaster to arrive in Japan, with custom parts from "Slusser Handmade Guitars" ordered and installed by our store!

The "Made in Japan Traditional" series was created by fusing Fender's traditional musical instrument manufacturing aesthetics with Japan's sophisticated craftsmanship.This time, the "Traditional '70s Telecaster", which reproduces the Telecaster of the 70's, has arrived.The color is candy apple red and it was made in 2017.

Adopts an ash body with a gloss poly finish and a 21F rose fingerboard.A 7.25-inch radius "U"-shaped maple neck with vintage-style frets provides classic playability.

The original pickup "Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele" selected for this series plays realistic and musical vintage tones.The narrow nut width makes it easy for Japanese players to play, solid guitar craftsmanship, and a flexible response to player needs are reflected in this series.

Furthermore, we installed a Bigsby at our shop and customized it to a special specification with 3 custom parts from "Slusser Handmade Guitars".The internal wiring has also been upgraded.

"Slusser Handmade Guitars" is a brand that produces handmade Bigsby custom parts using high quality stainless steel, aluminum, and brass metals in the United States.With the belief that "we want to make guitar parts that you can enjoy for a lifetime," we deliver not only improved playability and durability, but also beautiful carved textures.

MION came across Thrasser products at NAMM SHOW 2025 and decided to handle the parts and sell guitars equipped with them.This is the first part.

Functionally, the Slusser Handmade Guitars Twizzel Stick Bigsby Handles are 1 inch longer than standard stainless steel Kalamazoo Bigsby handles and feature a wider, curved grip.The edges are wrapped and the three-dimensional shape fits comfortably in your hand, making vibrato operations even more enjoyable.
The saddle is equipped with a custom-made "Tele Retrofit Custom Saddles."The unprecedented shape will tickle the hearts of players.Furthermore, a neck plate "Trad Neck Plate" is installed.The plate is hollowed out in the shape of a woodpecker, giving it a cute look.This is a masterpiece that has not only durability and sound, but also a sense of fun in its design.None of these items are officially sold domestically.

We would like you to experience the attention to detail of Slasher Parts, which are hand carved by craftsmen who take each part seriously.
