Fender '62 Telecaster, double bound sunburst, made in Japan 2006-8. Adding binding really hits the classic Tele curves just right... this looks fantastic. The dreamy sunburst with the mint guard, dark rosewood board and binding is classier than Owen Wilson in a white linen tuxedo.... whoa. The neck is a comfy vintage C: slim and round, vintage style 7.25" radius, easy to enjoy. Paired with the light body, this is an easy player indeed. The tone on offer is breathy and bright, with an airy midrange and heaps of dynamic response and sparkle. There's a lot to love here, and these TL62B models seldom last long, so sort yourself out and make it yours before Tele Tuesday rolls back around again.
