This is a Fender Japan Telecaster Deluxe that absolutely refuses to behave. A Factory Special Run from 2019, dipped in Seafoam Green so minty it should come with a dental warning, then finished off with a pearloid guard, witch hat knobs, and that gloriously unnecessary 70s headstock. It’s not subtle, it’s not polite, and it definitely doesn’t care if your other guitars feel insecure about it.
The ash body keeps things snappy, but let’s not pretend that’s why you’re here. You’re here for the Wide Range humbuckers — proper Fender Japan units that do the whole “big, loud, open” thing without turning into a woolly mess. Cleans are wide and glassy with actual authority, driven tones are thick, punchy, and just rude enough to get you kicked out of the rehearsal room. This is not a polite Tele twang machine. This is a Tele that’s been going to the gym and listening to records your amp doesn’t approve of.
The U-shape maple neck is chunky in a reassuring, “yeah, this feels right” way, finished in full gloss and paired with a modern 9.5" radius, rolled edges, and narrow tall frets that make bends effortless and cowboy chords still feel like home. The 70s-style hardtail bridge locks everything down so you can thrash, chug, or over-strum like it’s 1974 and no one’s invented tuners that work yet (except… these ones do).
Condition? A few small dings along the bottom edge — nothing dramatic, nothing hidden, nothing that affects playability. Just the kind of marks that say “this guitar has been outside and survived.” Structurally rock solid, emotionally confident.
This is a Telecaster Deluxe for people who find normal Teles a bit too well-adjusted. Loud look, big neck, bigger pickups, zero apologies. Plug it in, turn it up, and let the other guitars in the room quietly reconsider their life choices.
This instrument received a full professional setup with deep body cleaning, body polish, neck deep clean, full electronics check, truss-rod and action and intonation adjustment. Restringed with D'addario 10-46 Nickel-plated steel strings.

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.
