Description from the seller
Please read the entire description carefully before purchasing.
Product Overview：
This is a Fender Japan Telecaster.
Compared with Stratocasters, Telecasters have historically been available in significantly smaller numbers on the Japanese domestic market. As a result, certain Japanese-made Telecaster models can be relatively difficult to find and may command higher prices.
Product Details：
Although this is a vintage instrument, it has been tested and confirmed to produce sound properly.
There are some areas of paint loss and dents around the edges of the body, but overall, the guitar remains in relatively good cosmetic condition.
The original Japanese-language manual and proof of purchase from when the guitar was purchased new are included.
A Fender soft case is also included. Please note that the case shows considerable deterioration and wear due to age.
Product Specifications：
Brand: Fender Japan
Weight: Approx. 3.7 kg
Overall Length: Approx. 98 cm
Neck Length: Approx. 47 cm
Number of Frets: 21
Model / Series: TL-38J BLK
Approx. Year of Release: 1993
Serial Number: N097490
Country of Manufacture: Japan
Product Condition：
Both the front and rear pickups are functioning properly.
The volume and tone controls are functioning properly.
More than approximately 70% of the fret height remains.
There is no significant or extreme warping of the neck.
Please note that this guitar is more than 20 years old. There may be dirt, scratches, marks, and other cosmetic imperfections that cannot be clearly shown in the photographs.
Due to its age, the guitar shows general deterioration and signs of use. Please understand that this is a used vintage instrument and is not in perfect condition.
Important Notes：
The strings shown installed on the guitar in the photographs are not included.
Instead, a new, unused set of Phoenix guitar strings will be included separately and will not be installed on the guitar.
A Fender soft case is included. Please note that the soft case has stains, wear, and deterioration due to age.
The original Japanese-language manual and proof of purchase from the time of purchase are included.
The guitar stand shown in the photographs is not included.
To reduce international shipping costs, the neck and body will be detached from each other for shipping.
After receiving the guitar, the buyer will need to reattach the neck to the body using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
About the Brand – Fender Japan：
Many Fender Japan guitars produced between approximately 1982 and 1997 were manufactured in Japan by FujiGen, a well-known Japanese guitar manufacturer.
Today, Fender has its own manufacturing operations in Japan, and Fender Japan instruments manufactured by FujiGen are no longer produced as new products.
FujiGen-made Fender Japan guitars are known for the precise craftsmanship and manufacturing quality associated with Japanese guitar production.
Among Fender instruments, Japanese-made models have attracted considerable attention from guitar enthusiasts and collectors around the world. In particular, Fender Japan instruments from the period in which this guitar was produced remain popular among enthusiasts.
We hope you enjoy the craftsmanship and character of this Japanese-made Fender guitar!
About the Brand – Phoenix：
The guitar also comes with a new set of strings from Phoenix, a Japanese brand.
Phoenix strings are designed to provide a comfortable playing feel and good resistance to rust, making them suitable for a wide range of players.
Japanese craftsmanship and manufacturing are recognized around the world across many industries. We hope you will also enjoy trying these Japanese-brand Phoenix guitar strings.
