Factory USA Fender Texas Special Pickups

One of the biggest highlights of the TL62B-70TX is its factory-installed USA Fender Texas Special Telecaster pickup set.

These pickups offer increased output and a stronger midrange presence compared with traditional vintage-style Telecaster pickups, while retaining the clarity, definition, and unmistakable Telecaster character.

The bridge pickup delivers plenty of bite and attack, while the neck pickup provides a warmer, fuller response with excellent articulation.

Together, they offer a versatile range of tones for country, blues, classic rock, and everything in between.

Classic ’62 Telecaster Custom Design

The double-bound alder body gives this guitar the elegant appearance associated with Fender's early-'60s Telecaster Custom models.

The contrasting binding beautifully frames the 3-Tone Sunburst finish, while the traditional rosewood fingerboard and vintage-style appointments capture the look and feel of a classic 1962 Telecaster.

Combined with the quality and craftsmanship associated with Fender Japan's CIJ era, this is a particularly appealing example for players who appreciate vintage Fender styling with a little extra pickup output.

Tweed Hard-Shell Case

The guitar includes a tweed hard-shell case, providing excellent protection for storage, transportation, and shipping.
