Some guitars walk into the shop quietly.
This one strolls in like it already owns the place — Olympic White, double-bound, and smug about it.
It’s a 2015 Fender Japan Limited Edition 60s Telecaster, which already explains the attitude. Japan doesn’t make “average” guitars — they make guitars that feel like someone whispered encouraging haikus to the wood during construction. Alder body, original SS routing, original Pat Pend bridge, original Gotoh tuners, the whole “yes, I’m still completely stock, thank you for noticing” ensemble.
The slab rosewood board is beautifully dark, the C-shape maple neck has that honey-amber glow that suggests it’s been quietly doing yoga, and the neck thickness (21.9mm at the 1st, 23.3mm at the 12th) sits right in that Goldilocks zone: not too skinny, not too chunky — just enough to make you question your loyalty to other guitars.
Condition?
Let’s say “lightly seasoned.” A couple tiny body dings, one on the headstock, some fret wear that says “I have lived” rather than “I need a refret.” Structurally perfect. Emotionally stable. Rare, for a Tele.
Plug it in and the original AlNiCo V single coils do that very specific 60s Tele thing: Bridge — bright but not dentist-office harsh. Neck — warm without the mud. Middle — the polite handshake between the two.
The wiring is untouched, original A250Ks, 3-way, no weird mods, no surprises. It weighs 3.7kg, which means it’s substantial enough to sound like a Tele but not heavy enough to ruin your back like one of those “sustain monsters” we keep pretending to enjoy.
This is the Tele that instantly makes your other guitars look underdressed.
It’s rare, it’s Japanese, it’s clean, it’s classy, and it’s got just enough attitude to keep things interesting.
This instrument received a full professional setup with deep body clean, neck deep clean, lemon oil fretboard treatment and full electronics check. Restringed with D'addario 10-46 nickel-plated steel strings.

DISCLAIMER
Please note that although we put our heart and soul and also all our knowledge into every single guitar we sell, a setup is a personal preference. However, we try to get the best playability out of every guitar and set them up so you can play both rhythm and lead. We also pull them all apart to clean and check every single component and replace all unreliable parts with new ones, from dodgy pots to the whole wiring, tuners, string trees, nuts and etc. All the work done is described in detail in the listing.
We make sure that every guitar we sell is problem free and take full responsibility for the accuracy of our listing descriptions. All photographs are done by a professional photographer and processed on a calibrated monitor. Some colours might look slightly different on your monitor, but we will always put the official Fender colour name in the listing description, so please study pictures of other guitars with the same colour if you are unsure. We focus on finding great quality guitars and making them reliable and inspiring to play.
