USED Fender Japan / TL52-70 Butter Scotch Blonde [12]

We have a new Fender Japan 52 Telecaster made by Fujigen in the mid-80s.
The serial number indicates that it was manufactured between 1985 and 1986, and the sticker on the back of the head and the specs indicate that it is a TL52-70.
The body is made of Sen, which has characteristics similar to ash, and the neck is one-piece maple, a characteristic of the 50s.
The minus screw, a characteristic of early Telecasters, has also been reproduced, making this a guitar that will satisfy the hearts of enthusiasts.

There are some paint peels on the fingerboard from the 1st to the 2nd fret and from the 5th to the 17th fret on the 1st string side.
There is a large ding on the back of the body, but considering the age of manufacture, it is in good condition with little signs of use.
The frets are low, but playability is still good.
There is a tear inside the case.

Item Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problem for normal use.
