Fender '62 Reissue Tele, double bound candy apple red, crafted in Japan in 2006-08. This is smooth operator indeed. This one is a well-appointed 'Vintage Premium' model; so you get some good stuff: 60s spiral bridge, alder body and a pair of awesome Fender USA Texas Special pickups. The pickups deliver a thick, juicy bass to balance out the traditional Tele-twang; the slightly hot output loves a bit of drive and quickly moves into creamy, saucy goodness. The slim 60s neck feels instantly familiar and is very easy to move around quickly on, it's brilliant in the hands. Mix all that in with those knockout looks... the double binding hits all those Tele-curves just right, and the slightly worn-in candy apple red finish is perfectly classic and dripping with attitude. Surely you can win some hearts with this one!
