Why This Guitar Shines:

The Fender Japan TL62B-70 Telecaster Custom is a faithful reissue of the classic 1962 Tele Custom, built during the highly regarded late-’80s era of Fender Japan’s production. Known for their exceptional build quality and attention to detail, these guitars rival their American counterparts and have become cult favorites among players and collectors alike. The Old Candy Red finish—a deep, vibrant red with a glossy sheen—sets this Tele apart, offering a bold, retro aesthetic that pops under stage lights. With its versatile pickup configuration and smooth playability, this guitar is ready to tackle everything from country chicken-pickin’ to gritty rock riffs and soulful blues.


Detailed Specs:

- **Body**: Alder, delivering a balanced, resonant tone with bright highs and tight lows, classic for Telecasters.

- **Finish**: Old Candy Red (gloss polyurethane), a rare and striking color that enhances the guitar’s vintage appeal.

- **Neck**: Maple with a rosewood fretboard, featuring a 25.5” scale length and 21 vintage-style frets for smooth, precise playability.

- **Neck Profile**: Comfortable “C” shape, offering a slim, fast feel ideal for both chord work and lead lines.

- **Inlays**: White dot inlays, simple and elegant, complementing the classic Tele aesthetic.

- **Pickups**:

- **Neck**: Fender Japan single-coil humbucker (bound for that Custom look), delivering warm, fat tones with rich harmonics.

- **Bridge**: Vintage-style Tele single-coil, offering that signature twangy, biting Tele sound.

- **Controls**: Two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a 3-way toggle switch for versatile tonal options, from creamy humbucker warmth to sparkling single-coil snap.

- **Bridge**: Vintage-style 3-saddle Tele bridge with steel saddles for authentic tone and solid intonation.

- **Tuners**: Chrome vintage-style tuners, providing reliable tuning stability.

- **Hardware**: Chrome, in excellent condition, adding to the guitar’s sleek, retro vibe.

- **Weight**: Approximately 7.5 lbs, lightweight and well-balanced for hours of comfortable playing.

- **Condition**: Very good, player-friendly with light play wear—minor surface scratches, small dings, and subtle finish checking that add authentic mojo without affecting playability or sound.



Sound & Playability:

This 1987 Fender Japan TL62B-70 Telecaster Custom is a tonal chameleon, blending the best of both worlds. The neck humbucker delivers warm, thick tones perfect for jazz, blues, or rock rhythms, while the bridge single-coil unleashes that classic Tele twang—bright, articulate, and full of snap for country leads or biting rock riffs. The alder body provides a balanced, resonant foundation, while the maple/rosewood neck offers a smooth, fast feel that invites hours of effortless playing. The vintage-style frets and slim “C” neck profile make it a joy for both intricate lead work and chunky chord progressions.
