Fender Made in Japan Traditional II ’50s Telecaster FSR Ishibashi in Butterscotch Blonde.

This is a special limited dealer-run model originally made for the Japanese market and sold through Ishibashi. I personally imported it from Japan.

It is not a standard MIJ Traditional II Telecaster: this FSR version features a very distinctive and high-spec configuration:

• Ash body
• Fender CuNiFe Wide Range humbucker in the neck position
• Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Tele bridge pickup
• Classic ’50s blackguard look
• Made in Japan quality
• Original Fender soft gig bag included

The guitar has just been professionally checked and set up by my trusted luthier, with fresh strings fitted. It is fully working, carefully maintained and ready to play.

This is a very interesting collector/player Telecaster for anyone looking for a rare Japanese-market Fender with a more special configuration than a standard production model. The bridge pickup delivers classic Tele bite and character, while the genuine Fender CuNiFe Wide Range neck pickup adds a fuller, warmer and more distinctive voice.

The guitar is already located in the EU, so EU buyers can avoid the extra import duties, VAT and customs procedures normally involved when buying a similar model directly from Japan.

Condition is excellent overall, a collector-grade instrument. Please check the photos carefully as they are part of the description.

Please note: the original Fender soft gig bag is included.

Careful and secure packaging for shipping.
