Seller's description

Epic Axes is a musician-driven showroom in Los Angeles. Each guitar is personally selected, inspected, and tested to ensure top performance - only instruments we would play ourselves become part of our collection. Text us to book a visit. This Fender Japan CTL-50M is a remarkably clean example and is in excellent overall condition. It shows only a few minor signs of use on the body and neck consistent with normal handling over the years (please see photos for details), but overall presents exceptionally well. The guitar retains its original pickups and electronics. The volume pot shows signs of having been removed and re-soldered at some point in its life, or possibly replaced with an identical period-correct unit, as the date codes match the other pot. Everything functions exactly as it should. The frets appear to have been professionally replaced some time ago and are currently in outstanding condition. We have polished them to a mirror shine, and they show virtually no wear. The fret ends have some minor unevenness/roughness to the touch in a few areas, consistent with an older fret replacement, but this is relatively minor and does not affect playability. The guitar has been fully inspected, professionally set up, and plays effortlessly with low action and excellent intonation across the entire fretboard. Tonally, this Telecaster delivers everything you would hope for from a great vintage-style Japanese Fender: crisp and articulate highs, a punchy and focused midrange, tight low end, and impressive acoustic resonance. It has plenty of snap, clarity, and dynamic response, while still sounding full, rich, and powerful. Whether you're playing clean, edge-of-breakup, or pushing an amp harder, this guitar remains lively, expressive, and incredibly inspiring to play. No case included. Overall, this is an exceptionally well-preserved Fender Japan CTL-50M that looks great, plays beautifully, and sounds absolutely fantastic. Fully dialed in and ready for the stage, studi
