This is the second special Telecaster that we ordered and installed custom parts from "Slusser Handmade Guitars" for the first time in Japan!Our store's unique Fender Japan Telecaster "TL33-M BLK" with all-new hardware, Bigsby, and upgraded pickup is now in stock!Weight is 4.11kg.

This is a Telecaster with the F serial number "Made in Japan" and was manufactured between 1986 and 1987.Because it is assembled and manufactured by Fujigen, it maintains stable quality and high cost performance, while providing modern performance performance that can be adapted to a variety of styles.

"TL33-M BLK" is a classic wood material with a basswood body and maple neck, and the controls are simple with a 3-way selector and 1VOL / 1TONE.

At our store, we have replaced the original pickup with the ``Monty's Guitars Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups Set,'' and have also upgraded the pot (changed to one made by CTS) and capacitor to film.(Please note that the original pickup is not included)

“Monty’s Guitars” is a high-end pickup brand from London, UK.Founder Matt Gleeson has thoroughly analyzed vintage pickups and rebuilt the tone for modern players, bringing out the best performance regardless of genre.

The "Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups" set is a model that achieves the most balanced and musical sound of Monty's Telecaster pickups.

When you play a chord, the sound comes together beautifully, with a warm, chime-like high range, and a tight, woody, textured rhythm.The drive is also clear and never harsh.Only partial potting is done to ensure high resolution.
Recommended for those looking for a modern classic with a modern twist on vintage tele tones.
