This Fender Buck Owens Telecaster was Crafted in Japan with P+6-digit serial (1999-2002), featuring the iconic red, silver, and blue sparkle finish, gold hardware and anodized pickguard.

This particular guitar is in excellent condition and comes from a collector—lightly played and stored with care.
Built during Fender Japan’s golden era, it delivers premium fit and finish, true vintage Tele tone, and that unmistakable sparkle aesthetic. A true gem for players or collectors. Weight = 8lbs, 11oz.

Why It’s Special
Very limited production, standout finish, and high build quality, this Tele is both rare and iconic.

It has been set up and truss rod works great.

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
