From the listing

Seller's description

The TL72-55M is based on a 1970s Telecaster style and features the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of the E-serial era. This is a Fujigen-made model from around 1986. It features a classic configuration: a natural-colored SEN WOOD body paired with a one-piece maple neck. This guitar combines a bright, responsive sound with the vintage-like character unique to the E-serial era. Both the front and rear pickups feature red bobbins. The front pickup has black-and-white leads, while the rear has yellow-and-black leads—a transitional specification typical of the era that adds to its charm. The front pickup offers a delicate, clear tone, while the rear delivers the crisp, characteristic Telecaster sound; together, they produce a well-balanced sound in the center position. The neck date is "3-7 86," and a "TL72-55" stamp is visible on the neck end. The neck pocket bears a "NAT" stamp, and the overall consistency of the parts gives a natural impression. This is a guitar that allows you to fully appreciate the fine craftsmanship typical of the increasingly highly regarded E-serial era, as well as the unique charm of a Japanese vintage model. The TL72-55M is appealing not only for its practicality but also from a collector’s perspective. The pickup selector has been replaced with a VLX54 lever switch. There is red discoloration at the cutaway and headstock. There is a crack at the neck joint. Overall, there are scratches, dents, and rust on the metal, showing signs of use. The neck has a slight backward bow on the G-string side and some twisting. There are currently no issues with playability.
