For Sale: 2013 Fender Japan MIJ Telecaster Custom ’62 Reissue TL62B – Black w/ Tweed HSC

Up for sale is a 2013 Fender Japan MIJ Telecaster Custom ’62 Reissue TL62B in Black, complete with a non-original tweed hard-shell case.

Built in Japan as part of Fender’s sought-after TL62B reissue series, this model combines classic early-’60s Telecaster Custom styling with the excellent fit and finish Fender Japan is known for. Features include a double-bound alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and a set of original Fender Japan single-coils that deliver the clear, punchy, articulate tone you want from a good Tele.

This is a very clean, great-playing example with classic looks and strong build quality.

Condition

This guitar is in very good condition and has been well cared for. I would rate it a solid 8.5/10. It shows some light scratches and a few small dings from normal use, but nothing major. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.

It is 100% original with no modifications, and there are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight and stable, the truss rod functions properly, and the original frets show little to no wear. It has also been professionally set up by our in-house luthier and plays cleanly up and down the neck with no issues.

It includes a non-original tweed hard-shell case.

Tone & Feel

This TL62B delivers everything you would want from a good Telecaster — tight lows, punchy mids, and clear, articulate highs. The rosewood fingerboard adds a bit of warmth and smoothness, while the vintage 7.25" radius and vintage-style frets give it a more traditional early-’60s feel.

The double-bound body gives it the classic Tele Custom look that always stands out, and the Black finish makes this one especially sharp.
