2018 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster Butterscotch, Near-Mint w/ USA Pickups & Hangtags, Japan MIJ

2018 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster Butterscotch, Near-Mint w/ USA Pickups & Hangtags, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 2018 Fender Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster in near-mint, 100% original condition, complete with hangtags. A short-lived, discontinued model, the Hybrid ‘50s Telecaster is one of the finest Tele iterations ever produced by Fender Japan, and a model not otherwise available in the USA market.

Forward-thinking in its design and player-friendly features, this Telecaster has a lightweight ash body, '50s U-shaped neck profile carve, USA-made Fender Pure Vintage '58 Tele pickups, USA-spec CTS pots, four-way series/parallel switching, brass saddles, a bone nut, taller fretwire, locking Kluson-style tuners, and a silky smooth satin neck profile finish.

The Pure Vintage '58 Fender pickups translate the guitar's ample acoustic properties into a vital palette of traditional Tele tones. With alnico V magnets, black fiber bobbins, a copper baseplate on the bridge pickup, and push-back cloth-covered leads, the pickups are extremely faithful to vintage spec. There's ample chewy twang and sparkle on tap in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like neck pickup and a very welcome 4th position on the blade switch, engaging both pickups in series for a particularly big and bold sound. This Tele weighs 7lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

-Wood: Maple
-Shape: U, measuring .865” 1st fret, .965” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Maple, 9 1/2“ radius
-Frets: Medium jumbo, faint wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1.675” (42.5mm), bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style locking, Gotoh
-Serialization: “Made in Japan”, JD18-prefix

-Plastics: One-ply pickguard (five-screw, “blackguard”-spec), round ‘50s switch tip

The gloss Butterscotch finish highlights the tight, uniform grain in the ash body, and there are just a few tiny marks on the body. The smooth satin finish on the neck profile is immaculate.

The original gigbag and hangtags are included.
