2002 Fender Japan TL52-80 '52 Reissue Telecaster (Vintage Natural)

2002 Fender Japan TL52-80 '52 Reissue Telecaster (Vintage Natural)Made by the Tokai factory in 2002, the TL52 80 was a true '52 reissue Telecaster with period correct touches including flathead screws. One piece ash body with a vintage natural finish bolted to a slim V profile maple neck (7. 25" radius), it weighs just under 3kg's. Loaded with Fender USA single coil pickups with Japanese hardware, this one appears to be all original except for a replacement bridge. Good overall condition as pictured with light wear

the SE-500 was a mid-range model from the Aria Pro II catalog

These were advertised as having the same specs and quality as the VM-2001 but for "an attractive price so you can experience it" (according to their catalog)

Position Inlays: White Dots

and at this incredible price

restrung and given a basic prior to listing

these Japanese made instruments were built to some amazing quality

frets are have plenty of life and play well

Wearing a poly "Vintage White" finish on an alder body with a maple neck and 20 fret rosewood fingerboard (34" scale length

The pots and toggle switch are temperamental and have some scratchiness when used but we wanted to keep it all original

At full bore

the EB420 was the Greco model that aimed at replicating Gibson's SG bass design

Older 330 models came with the Rickenbacker Toaster pickups
