🔥 Vintage Tone Machine Alert: 1980's Fender Japan TL’62B-70 Telecaster Custom – Black Beauty with Serious Mojo! 🔥
This is the one you’ve been hunting for.
A genuine 1980's Fender Japan TL’62B-70 — the coveted double-bound Telecaster Custom in classic Black. Built during the golden era of Fender Japan when they were putting out some of the finest Telecasters ever made outside of the USA.
This guitar wears its age with pure rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Deep, glossy black finish with elegant white double binding that pops beautifully against the body. The dark rosewood fingerboard has that rich, chocolate tone and smooth feel that only decades of play can deliver. Slim, comfortable C-shaped neck plays like a dream — fast, responsive, and full of vintage character.
Condition highlights:
• Very nice, honest vintage condition for a guitar that has been played and is 40-years-old
• Natural battle scars: light dents, scratches, and buckle marks that tell its story — all adding to the authentic mojo
• Zero chips, cracks, or repairs — this beauty is solid as a rock
• Professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability right out of the case
Plugged in, this Tele delivers everything you want: sparkling cleans with that signature Tele snap and twang, juicy overdriven bite when you push it, and endless sustain thanks to the solid build and period-correct pickups. Whether you’re chasing country, blues, rock, or indie tones, this guitar answers the call with authority and soul.
Double-bound body, period-correct hardware, and that unmistakable Fender Japan attention to detail from the mid-80s — these guitars are getting harder and harder to find in this condition.
This isn’t just another Tele.
This is a player’s guitar with real history and personality.
Ready to make new music and turn heads for the next 40 years.
Serious inquiries only — this one won’t last long.
DM or comment to make it yours before someone else does.

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small family owned and run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling, returns without restocking fees or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
