Fender Japan TL33-M w/ Monty's Guitars Retro Wind Pickups & Slusser Custom Hardw

Fender Japan TL33-M BLK w/ Monty's Guitars Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups & Slusser Custom Hardware
The second special Telecaster featuring custom parts ordered and installed by "Slusser Handmade Guitars," now available in Japan for the first time! This Fender Japan Telecaster, the "TL33-M BLK," boasts completely redesigned hardware, a Bigsby tremolo, and upgraded pickups! It weighs 4.11kg.

This is an F-serial "Made in Japan" Telecaster, dating from 1986-1987.
Assembled and manufactured by Fujigen, it maintains stable quality and high cost performance while offering modern playability suitable for various styles.

The "TL33-M BLK" features a classic wood combination of a basswood body and maple neck, and simple controls with a 3-way selector and 1 volume/1 tone.
The pickups have been replaced from the original to the "Monty's Guitars Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups Set," and the potentiometers (changed to CTS) and capacitors have also been upgraded to film type.
(Please note that the original pickups are not included.)
"Monty's Guitars" is a high-end pickup brand from London, UK.
Founder Matt Gleeson thoroughly analyzed vintage pickups and reconstructed the tone for modern players, delivering top performance across all genres.

The "Retro Wind Telecaster Pickups" set is the most balanced and musically sounding model among Monty's Telecaster pickups.
When playing chords, the sound is beautifully cohesive, with warm, chime-like highs and a tight, woody rhythm. The drive is clear and never harsh. High resolution is ensured by limiting potting to only partial applications.
Recommended for those looking for a modern classic with a contemporary twist on a vintage Telecaster tone.
Furthermore, it features a brand new Bigsby tremolo and custom parts from "Slusser Handmade Guitars."
Slusser is an American brand that handcrafts Bigsby custom parts using high-quality stainless steel, aluminum, and brass metals.
The following three items (totaling ¥54,440) have been installed:
Bigsby handle "Twizzel Stick Bigsby Handles" (new, ¥22,480)
Saddle "Tele Retrofit Custom Saddles" (new, ¥23,980)
Neck plate "Trad Neck Plate" (new, ¥7,980)
We encourage you to experience the dedication to craftsmanship of Slusser parts, which are handcrafted by skilled artisans.
This guitar is a highly popular early Fender Japan model, known for its excellent craftsmanship. It features upgraded details to the highest level, along with the added appeal of a Bigsby tremolo, making it comparable to a Custom Shop model.
