(SOLD) Fender Japan '62 Telecaster TL62B Candy Apple Red 2008
Fender '62 Telecaster, double bound candy apple red, made in Japan 2008. Hopefully the pictures do the talking here and this description is superfluous, but hey, here goes. Candy apple red is a great finish. Add some double binding around the body, and dang... this thing looks outstanding. The neck is a slim, comfy vintage C shape, it's very agreeable. It's resonant in the hands and pretty lightweight, so you're never working too hard to play it. The tone on offer sits in the classic Tele genre: twang, chime and sparkle, paired with a breathy midrange and a plonky low end. It's great for rhythm stuff especially, the clarity and zing brings out all the detail in your chords. Anyway, as noted. the pictures do the talking: dang, that's nice.
