USED ESP / TFR-II Tetsuya Model Matte See-Through Purple [12]

The tetsuya model—named after the bassist and leader of L'Arc-en-Ciel—has arrived.
Based on the FOREST model and developed as the second iteration of the TFR-I to reflect tetsuya’s specific preferences, this model features an alder body with a quilted maple top and is equipped with Bartolini pickups.

It features an alder body with a quilted maple top and is equipped with Bartolini pickups.
While the TFR-I features a 7-piece maple/walnut/padauk through-neck with an ebony fingerboard, this model features a bolt-on 3-piece maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

Additionally, while the TFR-I features Sperzel Trim-Lock tuners and a Schaller bridge, this model is equipped with Gotoh tuners and a Gotoh bridge.

The headstock shape is slightly narrower than that of the TFR-I and follows the so-called “FOREST” design; another notable feature is that the headstock logo is printed on the top of the headstock rather than on the truss rod cover.

This is an extremely rare item that is almost never found on the secondhand market.
