Collectible, Vintage Japanese 50th Anniversary Tele Custom – finished in white and a rare sight on the used market.
According to a 90’s Fender catalogue, Fender Japan had a special team during that era called “Custom Edition Team” (which no longer exists). The team consisted of only highly skilled builders and finishers, used only select materials, took custom orders, and produced these “50th Anniversary” Custom Teles. The model was frequently used by U2’s ‘The Edge’ when playing Sunday Bloody Sunday on the ‘Vertigo’ and ‘Elevation’ tours.
It is in very good condition for age with just minor blemishes/surface impressions which are only visible on closer inspection, and some lovely ageing to the hardware. We’ve highlighted the blemishes on the close up photos under direct studio lighting to exaggerate them and make them visible. The frets are in very condition with only very minor wear, and everything works as it should.
The spec includes decorative mother of pearl binding, pearloid pickguard, gold hardware and a matching painted headstock. Collectors sometimes refer to it as the “Vegas Tele,” thanks to its flamboyant aesthetic. You also get more traditional specs including a Basswood body, and slim profile neck with 25.5” scale rosewood fretboard.
The twin single coil pickups sound great and are controlled via 3-way switch, plus master volume / tone controls.
We have paired the guitar with a new tweed moulded case to keep your investment protected.
