Northwest Vintage Guitars brings you a rare Toploader Fender Telecaster TL-43 in Candy Apple Red. This uncommon version of the Tele was made by Tokai in Japan in the mid 2000's for only a couple years in this version and was sold exclusively to the Japanese domestic market. It's a wonderful mix of vintge and modern appointments.
First off, you get a modern high mass Toploader bridge with 6 adjustable saddles. Now you can intonate your Tele and show off that toploader tonality. The nut measures 1.67", neck depth is .85" - .94" on an Oval C profile. The 1V, 1T layout, the single ply guard, and the vintage custom color gives it some vintage cred. The Gotoh tuners and headstock adjusted truss rod are a welcomed modern upgrade. It's a Basswood body mated to a Maple neck with vintage spec frets with very little playwear and no divots, dead spots or unwarranted buzzing. We gave her a fresh set of nickel 10-46's and she's ready to ship out in the gig bag in the photos. 8.4 lbs
