Up for sale, a 1984 Fender “JV” Telecaster Custom ‘62 vintage reissue model TL62-65 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in the third year of Fender Japan production, this rare model was made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and select international territories as part of the "Japanese Vintage" (JV) line which only lasted from 1982-84.
Weighing 7lbs 7oz, tonewoods include an alder body, one-piece maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, offering a resonant, balanced acoustic platform with detailed midrange, notable breadth and clear note attack; qualities faithfully captured by the pickup pair. The bridge pickup features a brass baseplate, black fiber bobbin, and flush-mounted alnico pole pieces, delivering dynamic, chewy twang. Both pickups have push-back cloth-covered leads, and the neck pickup has ideal fullness and bell-like top end. This Telecaster Custom benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
