🩺🎸 Doctor's Orders: The Golden "Dr. K" Prescription for Tone! Fender Japan TL-62B DK Signature Telecaster – Fancy Gold Fever! 🩺🎸
Get ready to catch some serious Gold Rush vibes with this ultra-rare Fender Japan TL-62B DK "Dr. K" Signature Telecaster — the highly unique artist model created for Japanese guitar wizard Hirofumi "Dr. K" Tokutake. If you're searching for a Tele that’s more than just another six-string, this is the Key to unlocking your best playing yet. It’s got the vintage '62 swagger, loaded with clever mods, and shines like it’s ready for the main stage (or your living room spotlight).
A Show-Stopping Beauty with Serious Substance
- Fancy Gold Finish on Bound Alder Body: Decked out in a dazzling, luxurious gold finish (affectionately called “Fancy Gold”) over a premium alder body with elegant double-binding, just like a 1962 Telecaster Custom. This finish catches the light with a rich, warm metallic glow that screams premium and turns every gig into a visual spectacle. The body delivers balanced resonance and that classic Tele snap with added warmth.
- Player-Friendly Maple Neck: Comfortable maple neck in a "D" or medium "C" profile, paired with either a rosewood or maple fretboard. It offers smooth, fast playability with excellent sustain and that bright, articulate response guitarists crave.
- Signature Pickup Magic – Nashville-Style Layout: This isn’t your average Tele — it’s a tonal Swiss Army knife:
- Two Fender Lace Sensor Gold pickups in neck and middle positions: silky, sparkling cleans, chimey rhythms, and buttery smoothness with zero hum.
- Seymour Duncan JD (Jerry Donahue) bridge pickup: bold, dynamic crunch, cutting leads, and enhanced twang with serious output and definition.
- 5-Way Strat-Style Switching: Blends the best of both worlds — classic Tele bite and quack with Strat-like versatility. Flip through a huge palette of tones for everything from country twang and bluesy warmth to rock crunch and fusion versatility.
- Chrome hardware rounds out the pro-level package with smooth tuning stability and sleek looks.
This Dr. K Signature is the perfect prescription for players who want vintage soul with modern flexibility — a true performer and collector’s standout.
Condition: Excellent & Stage-Ready
This pre-owned gem is in outstanding Excellent condition for its age:
- Just a small scratch and minor finish scuff on the back
- Otherwise near-mint with pristine gold finish, clean binding, tight hardware, and flawless electronics
It has been well-cared for and plays like a dream — no fret wear issues, solid neck, and inspiring feel from the first note. This guitar has the vibe of a well-loved instrument without the heavy battle scars.
Your Chance to Own a Rare Piece of Fender Japan Artistry
Limited artist signatures like the TL-62B DK don’t come around often. Built with Fender Japan’s legendary attention to detail, this model combines '60s Tele DNA with smart upgrades that make it endlessly inspiring and gig-worthy.

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 do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, if something very small can be overseen, 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 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.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries. Certain countries have higher costs. We try and avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier in certain situations. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can’t under value merchandise as it can not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different avenues, contact us by phone for a personalized quote.
