This is a Fender Japan Esquire, model TES61-65 (TLC-54B), featuring the bound body specification. It has an A serial number, but based on the neck date, it appears to have been made in 1990.

The frets still have plenty of life left as well. The guitar has been fully cleaned and given a basic setup. The included accessories are the original soft case and the original warranty card from the time of sale, which is a rare and valuable extra. Because th
