Japanese-Market FSR Telecaster Custom

One of the biggest highlights of this guitar is its Factory Special Run configuration, produced for the Japanese domestic market.

The gloss Black finish with contrasting white binding on both the front and back gives this Telecaster a particularly elegant appearance inspired by Fender's early-'60s Custom models.

Unlike a traditional vintage-spec Telecaster, this example features a 9.5" fingerboard radius, offering a slightly more modern playing surface while retaining the familiar feel of a vintage-style Fender neck.

The U-shaped maple neck provides a substantial, comfortable grip, making this a great choice for players who appreciate traditional Fender styling with practical modern touches.

Classic Telecaster Tone

The vintage-style Telecaster single-coil pickups deliver the familiar clarity, bite, and articulation that have made the Telecaster one of the most versatile electric guitars ever produced.

The bridge pickup offers plenty of twang and definition, while the neck pickup provides a warmer, rounder response for clean rhythm work, blues, and smooth lead tones.

The traditional 3-saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles completes the vintage-inspired design and contributes to the guitar's classic Telecaster character.
