With the Fender Japan Traditional '70s Tele MN Blue Ice Metallic, the Japanese Fender Factory presents a first-class interpretation of the legendary Telecaster, which sets standards with authentic vintage specs and the chic custom finish. In terms of construction, Fender relies on an ash body with historically accurate lines and a bolt-on maple neck, the traditional "U" profile of the neck fills the hand and guarantees comfortable playability. Two Fender vintage-style single-coil pickups also ensure appropriate tone conversion with the biting twang, which gives country, blues and rock licks enormous assertiveness. Last but not least, the Fender Japan Traditional '70s Tele is equipped with the classic vintage-style string through body bridge and precise Fender die-cast tuners.
For the construction of the Fender Japan Traditional '70s Tele, the Japanese Fender Factory uses the traditional Telecaster construction method. Accordingly, the electric guitar has an ash body with historically accurate radius and lines, which in conjunction with the bolt-on maple neck provides the basis for the crisp and lively sound. With the classic "U" profile, the neck also sits firmly and comfortably in the hand, so that on the maple fingerboard with a 7.25" radius every note comes out of the hand as if by itself.
The electric tone conversion of the Fender Japan Traditional '70s Telecaster MN Blue Ice Metallic is done by two Fender Vintage-Style Single Coil Pickups in neck and bridge position. Accordingly, both the clean and overdrive channels of the amplifier feature the sharp Tele-Twang, whose enormous assertiveness brings every blues, rock or country song to life. With their lively dynamics, the pickups also support expressive electric guitar playing, while the traditional Telecaster circuitry provides a wide range of timbres.
Last but not least, the Fender Japan Traditional '70s Tele offers traditional hardware equipment in an indestructible vintage style. The classic Fender 3-Saddle Vintage-Style bridge not only allows an optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, but also supports the crisp sound behavior with the strings guided through the body. Behind the bone saddle, Fender Die-Cast tuners on the headstock ensure precise and stable tuning.
This guitar is extraordinary value... but that's not why you should get it! The pickups are just on the right side of vintage hot, vert sweet mild sparkle finish, very good heads, not too heavy, BUT the neck... The the best I've ever held, and I've held a lot!. 7.25' radius with a satisfying deep (but not a bat), super comfy profile.., I don't know why all guitars aren't like this! For €666? Crazy! These probably won't be around for long and they would appreciate in price if anyone was going to sell theirs! Honestly, this is my favourite guitar ever!
This is a fantastic guitar... All the usual quality and finish you associate with Japanese Fender but with an absolutely amazing neck...
Chunky like a proper vintage Fender, not the skinny metal-monster ('Contemporary") neck that goes on everything these days. Not
a total bat but just right! You can always change pups (which are great here, just a little hot) and electrics but the body and neck have to be right from day one and they are here! Super paint job too!
