Apart from a handful of models (which are
unique to Japan and therefore would not interfere with sales of US or
Mexican models) Fender Japan are prevented from officially exporting to
Europe or the US. What is made in Japan stays in Japan. This is what you
are missing out on....a Keith Richards-style '67 Telecaster. These are the specs:

| Condition |
| This is a 1989-1990 Made
in
Japan 'I' serial. It is in excellent condition, with
just a few minor signs of use but nothing photographable. This instrument really does not look its age.
There is just a little tarnish on the brass bridge (brass always
tarnishes) - but the hardware is otherwise in
great condition. There are years of life left in the frets. This guitar has
had an easy life.
It comes with straplocks.

This instrument follows copies one
of Keef's stage guitars, a '67 with his trademark modifications...changing the neck pickup for a
humbucker (without cover), replacing the original three-saddle bridge with a brass
six-saddle type, and swapping the tuners for modern
equivalents.
Played acoustically, sustain is good, with a well
defined tone. Plugged in, it's quite well-mannered until you drive
it a little... it'll then rock like crazy and, of course, you've a
choice between the full, rounded, humbucker sound or the thinner
bridge single coil... or a mixture of both. Very nice indeed.
A new set of 9s has been fitted and
the action is very comfortable and easy right
up the neck. Condition is excellent, it
sounds awesome, and looks cool. What more could you want. Highly
recommended.
