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 '52 Telecaster. These are the specs:

| Condition |
| This is a Crafted in
Japan 2006- 'S' serial. It is in superb condition bar one
thing.. a knock on the top edge that has been repaired. It isn'
particularly noticeable but I've taken a couple of close-up pics
of it...see above. Apart from that... nothing... superb. All
controls work smoothly and without noise, and there is no
discernable fret wear. I wish I could get more like this!

This is Fender Japan's take on the
Teles modified by by Keith Richards by installing a modern bridge
and tuners, plus a humbucker at the neck. It is a good solid rock
& roll machine and looks very cool indeed. I've currently got
it tuned in DGDGBD so I can practice Keef's licks!
Sustain is good, with a well
defined tone. Plugged in, you've a choice of chickin' pickin' from
the bridge pup, or a darker humbucker sound... or a mixture of
both. This is a versatile guitar.
The action is very comfortable,
condition superb apart from one knock (reflected in the price), it
sounds awesome, and looks cool. What more could you want. Highly
recommended.
