(SOLD) Fender Japan '62 Telecaster TL62B Bound Ice Blue Metallic 2010
Fender '62 Telecaster, double bound ice blue metallic, made in Japan 2010. Add a bit of binding around the outside of a Tele, and people lose their minds. Fair enough too, they really do look great. This one is ten years old but looks closer to ten minutes old, it's in showroom shape. The neck is a typical sixties style slim C shape, which is very agreeable in the hands and seems to make friends quickly. The alder body and tasty vintage single coil pickups deliver a shiny, articulate Tele-twang: there's enough beef there to get an amp cooking but all your notes always come out crystal clear. These come around in sunburst and candy apple red fairly often, but the ice blue is less common and has a certain convertibles-on-the-coast vibe to it. With a few more years of play and sunlight on the clock it'll in time yellow to a sage green if you're patient... yum. You really can't go too wrong here, it's gorgeous and will surely go with your beautiful eyes.
