Fender 2018 Traditional 60s Midnight Telecaster Made in Japan MIJ Tele 07187

This is a 2018 Fender Traditional 60s Telecaster in Midnight finish, made in Japan. Super clean condition with an awesome black/gold look to it, was a short FSR run. Features:

— Fully bound alder body w/ matched black headstock.

-- Chunky 7.25” radius U-shape maple neck with rosewood fretboard.

-- Vintage spec pickups, bridge, and tuners.

-- All gold hardware & bone nut.

This is a classy looking guitar and only has minor scuffs and one small edge mark (see pics). Frets are in great condition. No case or tremolo bar. Great playing Japan quality instrument. Weight is a very comfortable 7 pounds, 9 ounces. Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing. Thanks!

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. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!

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 10 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 "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

Fat “U”-shape neck is perfect for fans of larger vintage necks
The Midnight Telecaster boasts one of the fattest necks you'll find on a Tele, vintage or modern. The thick “U”-shaped neck will appeal to players that prefer larger '50s-style necks. Many players claim that a thicker neck enhances sustain and gives you a darker, fuller tone than thinner necks provide — plug into your favorite amplifier with the Midnight Tele and you be the judge!
