(SOLD) Fender Classic 70s Telecaster Custom Surf Green 2017
Fender Classic 70s Telecaster Custom, made in Japan in 2017, incredibly rare factory surf green. Can you believe your eyes? What an absolute stunner of a guitar. This was a special edition finish offered very briefly and only via Fender's direct-to-public online store in Japan, so there's a small handful ever made. The Tele Custom is a 70s original, so you usually get the normal 70s finishes: natural, black, sunburst... proper bright 50s finishes that ooze awesomeness like this are impossibly rare on this model. Needless to say, it looks stupendous. The rest is all there: the slim oval neck is perfectly comfortable, the pickups are contrasting but complementary and dole out the signature twang with plenty of bravado, and hardware is all very reassuring. It's a breeze to play and a pleasure to hear. This is just about a brand-new guitar, there'd be plenty of guitars built well before this hanging in your local dealer. If you like it, don't wait; I don't expect another one will ever come our way. What a girl!
