🎸 2013 Fender Japan TL52-22 Limited Edition '52 Telecaster 🎸
All the twang of a '52, plus 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐭 the purists swore you'd never need. The TL52-22 was a 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟑 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧-𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐮𝐧 (Fender Japan's 40th anniversary year): a natural 𝐚𝐬𝐡 body, black pickguard, chunky maple neck and a 𝟐𝟐-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐭 fingerboard, so you get vintage looks with a little more room at the top.
✅ 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟑 𝐅𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧, serial JD13022348 (Made in Japan)
✅ 𝟐𝟐 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 (counted in the pics), a rare twist on the classic '52
✅ 𝐀𝐬𝐡 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 in natural with a black pickguard
✅ 𝟑-𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 for that classic Tele snap
✅ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞
✅ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧
She's in 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, with only a few light marks from careful playing and no big chips or gouges (see pics for details).
Classic twang, rare spec, Japanese build quality. 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞! 🧈

🔥 This guitar has been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. Unless otherwise noted in the listing, it features low action with no buzzing or dead spots, perfect intonation, a brand-new set of American-made Ernie Ball strings, and a straight neck with a fully functional truss rod. We make sure all frets are leveled, dressed, crowned, and polished to a mirror shine. The fingerboard has been thoroughly cleaned (unfinished rosewood and ebony boards are treated with Fret Doctor, a premium all-natural oil). All electronics function flawlessly. The guitar has been deep-cleaned and detailed and arrives stage- and studio-ready. 🔥
About The Guitar Dude
Three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer worldwide, specializing in premium Gibsons, classic Fender guitars from all eras, and the best Japanese-made treasures.

Consignment Services
Like what you see? Let us go to work for you. We offer the best and most fairly priced consignment service on the planet! Look for us online: @TheGuitarDude
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 polished to shine like new, with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We offer a 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 (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and 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 family-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, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, 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. The 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.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.
Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
