USED Fender Japan / 1985 TL52-75 VNT A-Serial [05]

We’ve just received a rare Fender Japan TL52-75 from the A-serial era!!

With a neck date of 12/4/85, it was manufactured in 1985. Both the neck and body bear the “TL52-75” stamp, confirming that this is a TL52-75 built in 1985.
The TL52-75 model number first appeared in the 1986 catalog, making this one of the instruments completed at the end of 1985.

It was crafted based on a 1952 Telecaster, and the spec sheet from that era lists the wood configuration as a white ash body, hard maple neck, and maple fingerboard. It features a Japanese-made TL-Vintage pickup and a Japanese-made one-piece Bakelite pickguard.

The previous owner played it extensively, and the fingerboard bears numerous marks that attest to its long history of use.
The electronics are in good condition, clearly indicating that this guitar has been lovingly cared for over many years.
The nut has been replaced, and the frets may also have been replaced; however, due to factors such as paint shrinkage, it is not entirely impossible that they are original.

This is a rare 1980s Japanese-made guitar whose value has been rising year after year. If you’re interested, please contact us as soon as possible.
