1990 Fender Japan TLAC-950 Thinline Telecaster – Battle-Scarred and Rarin' to Riff!

Picture this: It's 1990, the grunge gods are stirring, and Fender's Japanese wizards in the Fujigen factory craft a masterpiece – the TLAC-950 Thinline Telecaster. This ain't your grandma's showroom princess; oh no, this beauty's been through the trenches, emerging with a patina of pure, road-worn glory. A few honorable scars – dings from dive-bar brawls, faint fretboard whispers from endless encores – tell tales of late-night jams and stadium-shaking solos. But don't let the battle-tested vibe fool you: We've got her professionally dialed in, setup fresh as a spring twang, with low action, buzz-free bends, and intonation so spot-on it'll make your fingers dance.


Why This Thinline Will Steal Your Heart (and Your Amp's Soul):

That Iconic Semi-Hollow Howl: Lightweight mahogany body with a carved top, chambered for breathy resonance that blooms from jangly cleans to snarling overdrive. Pair it with your favorite pedals, and watch tones explode like a fireworks finale!

Playability Nirvana: Slim C-neck, rosewood fretboard, 21 medium-jumbo frets – buttery smooth, lightning-fast, and begging for your wildest riffs. She's 25.5" scale perfection, weighing in light enough for all-night gigs without the ache.

Pickup Powerhouse: The Heart of the TLAC-950's Sonic Soul

Nestled within the resonant chamber of the 1990 Fender Japan TLAC-950 Thinline Telecaster lies a groundbreaking pickup configuration that fuses electric fire with acoustic purity, making it a chameleon for tone explorers everywhere. The neck position hums with a USA-made Lace Sensor Silver – a radiant, low-impedance marvel that delivers crystalline clarity and vintage sparkle without the hum, offering bell-like highs, articulate mids, and a warm, responsive low end that sings through pedals and amps with effortless finesse. Under the bridge saddle, the piezo transducer captures the guitar's semi-hollow mahogany soul, channeling uncolored acoustic authenticity straight from the strings – think rich, woody body thumps and shimmering harmonics that evoke an unplugged Tele under stadium lights. Blended via an active mixing circuit (powered by a 9V battery for pristine signal integrity), these pickups unlock a sonic universe: Solo the Lace Sensor for shimmering country twang or bluesy sustain that rivals a sunlit Strat; dial in the piezo for folk-fingerpicking intimacy or percussive strums that cut like a dreadnought; or blend them for hybrid heaven – jangly indie cleans with acoustic air, overdriven rock roars laced with natural reverb, or even jazz-infused warmth that blooms with every chord. This isn't just versatile; it's revolutionary, turning battle scars into badges of boundless expression, where every note feels alive, unfiltered, and electrifyingly yours.

This '90s Japanese gem isn't just a guitar; it's a time machine ticket to the golden era of axe-slinging legends – think Bruce Springsteen meets The Edge, with a dash of your own untamed spirit. Freshly serviced by luthier pros, she's plugged in, tuned up, and zeroed in at 100% play-ready. Gig bag included – just add strings, sweat, and swagger!

Yours for the Taking – Limited Edition Survivor! Snag this road warrior before she heads back into the fray. DM for details, shipping worldwide, or local pickup in South Florida. Let's make some noise together! 🎸⚡
