The 1989 Made in Japan Fender Telecaster embodies the precision and craftsmanship for which Japan is renowned. With its sleek design and unmistakable Tele twang, this guitar seamlessly bridges the quality gap between American and import models - some might even argue it's superior, depending on the year. Crafted with high-quality materials and showcasing impeccable attention to detail, it offers both playability and durability. Condition-wise, it's in better shape than you'd typically expect for an instrument of its age. Signs of previous wear are minimal, and the pearl pickguard signals its stage-readiness for your next country gig. The original white pickguard is also included in the case.
