Seller's description

For US customers, this shipment will be Delivered-Duty Paid (DDP). Bells Lake will prepay duty charges so you will not worry about additional charges after purchase. Beautiful MIJ Telecaster w/ Blonde / Black Guard Finish. Based on the serial, made at the Fujigen Factory between '85 and '86. This instrument is being sold from my personal collection. Beautiful blonde finish w/ natural wood grain. Classic black guard w/ 50s-style appointments. All flathead screws throughout. Brass bridge saddles. Single string tree. 1-Ply Black Guard. Kluson-style tuners. Maple neck w/ Maple Fingerboard. Beautiful open sound to match its gorgeous looks. The jack plate has been replaced and is non-original. Like all MIJ Fender instruments I've ever played - the build quality, materials, construction, and attention to detail are fantastic. This instrument will be a life-long companion if treated well. For price to quality ratio, it is my opinion there is nothing better. There may be some subtle scratchiness throughout the electronics. The tone pot has an apparent "dead zone" towards the middle of its range, where it does not reduce high end correctly and sounds open again until you get further down the range. It appears original so I will not replace it without your (the buyer's) permission. There are visual imperfections across the instrument's finish - wear on the fingerboard, scratches on the pickguard, dust, dirt, scratches, knicks, dings, marks, and dents on the finish throughout. Please see pictures for details. There is some significant pitting/flattening/play wear on the frets. This is most noticeable between frets 1 and 12. Please do not purchase this instrument if you are seeking perfection. I have done my best to capture the instrument and any visual imperfections accurately - if you are concerned with condition and want to see more photos - please reach out to me before purchasing and I will be happy to send them your way. A non-original soft shell case will be included. It
