Fender '62 Reissue Telecaster TL62B-75TX Bound Vintage White 2004/5
Fender '62 Reissue Tele, double bound vintage white, crafted in Japan in 2004-05. Holy heck, this is a stunning piece of work. The TL62B-75TX is a well-appointed 'Vintage Premium' model; so you get some good stuff: 60s spiral bridge, alder body and a pair of awesome Fender USA Texas Special pickups. The pickups deliver a thick, juicy bass to balance out the traditional Tele-twang; the slightly hot output loves a bit of drive and quickly moves into creamy, saucy goodness. The slim 60s neck wins a lot of friends; it's very cooperative and instantly feels like home. The 2004 catalog specs three finish options on this: black, sunburst, red... so the creamy vintage white that adorns this is a luxurious and rare touch. Combined with the streaky rosewood board and the classy black binding, this is absolutely dressed to kill. Some Teles just ooze awesomeness, and this is definitely one of them!
Model: Fender Telecaster '62 Reissue (TL62B-75TX)
Made: Japan 2004-05 (serial R077590, 'crafted in Japan')
Finish: vintage white, black double binding
Body: alder
Neck: maple, rosewood board, slim profile
Mods: input jack and plate replaced, now non-recessed style
Pickups: original Fender USA Texas Special single coils
Case: basic gig bag
Cosmetic condition notes: Minor finish wear. The biggest ding is a little chip on the top edge, about 7mm across, aside from that there's a handful of minor dimples around the back and front of the body and some light scratches around the sides. Chrome has some minor pitting on the bridge plate, functions fine. Overall: very good condition (8/10)
Playing condition notes: Action is low, neck is straight, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electronics tested and working properly. The frets are in good condition, 8/10 for life left. Setup with fresh 10/46s. Delightful.
