A Limited MIJ Tele with International Appeal
Have you been waiting to get your hands on an exceptional Made in Japan Fender Telecaster? Your ship has finally come in. Sweetwater is pleased to present this impressive line of MIJ Limited International Color Telecasters that pair select vintage Fender specs with sophisticated Japanese craftsmanship and bold colors inspired by world destinations. A basswood body delivers powerful tone that’s balanced and full, while two Vintage-Style Telecaster pickups and 3-way switching ensure a classic range of Telecaster tones onboard. Fender fans will love this guitar’s playability with its old-school maple neck and rosewood fingerboard complete with a chunky “U” neck carve for extra grip. To seal the deal, Fender has added bevy of outstanding hardware including a bone nut, “F-stamped” neck plate and tuners, and a ‘70s style modern headstock logo for signature looks!
Iconic tone and stunning looks
The Fender Made in Japan Limited International Color Telecaster series oozes elegance from headstock to heel, with equally stunning tone and playability to boot. An extremely lightweight basswood body yields the classic balance and comfort that’s made the Telecaster an eternal workhorse for players of all styles and skill levels. Basswood’s tone is warm and transparent — perfect for clean playing or a platform for driven sounds with a midrange emphasis that helps this Telecaster naturally cut through any live or studio mix. The playability is also smooth and vintage inspired given a smooth rosewood fingerboard and maple neck. The neck’s “U” profile hearkens back to ’50s and ’60s Fender designs and is especially suited for players with large hands or those who are most comfortable with their thumb on the back or side of the neck. And at every step of the way, choice hardware complements this Telecaster playability. Fender wisely paired gorgeous “F-stamped” tuners with a sustain-boosting bone nut, an authentic three-saddle bridge, and a string-through body for bold tuning stability and enduring sustain that’s perfect for leads.
Versatile vintage-voiced pickups
A selection of two vintage-style single-coil pickups gives you a wide array of possible tones onboard. Choose the bridge and go hot and twangy or opt for the chrome-covered neck for soulful girthy tones that still retain the Telecaster’s hot signature twang and attack. While the Telecaster’s Stratocaster sibling has a reputation for versatility, Sweetwater guitarists know that the Telecaster is equally versatile and featured across countless genres and styles, including country, soul, classic rock, and punk just to name a few. Classic 3-way switching offers lots of options with master volume and tone controls for striking a perfect balance between output and bite.
