Fender TL-69 Blue Flower Telecaster Made In Japan Paisley Tele CIJ MIJ 68977

Description (more pics below)
You’re looking at a Fender TL-69 Telecaster Crafted in Japan with a P + 6-digit serial indicating a 1999-2002 year of manufacture. The Blue Flower or “Paisley” finish is really striking and the guitar appears all original. Some features:

— Basswood body with all maple neck
— Vintage 7.25” radius C-shape neck w/ vintage frets
— Ashtray bridge w/ 3-saddle string-thru design

These are very lightweight Tele’s (7 pounds, 4 ounces) and a lot of fun to play. Cosmetically, this one has play wear in mostly small marks around the edges. You’ll see I’ve taken very detailed pics, unlike some sellers who just post 2 or 3 faraway pics and then say has lots of wear, but don’t show it to you. The frets on this are in A+ condition. No case. (Details on my setups and packing, as well as manufacturer specs, at bottom of listing.) Thanks!

What You Get

-- FREE USA shipping.
-- 30-day return policy.
-- Ship within 1 business day--pro packing.

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

Manufacturer Info
The eye-catching looks of the ’69 Blue Flower Telecaster certainly raised a few eyebrows on its release in the late ‘60s. Inspired by the burgeoning psychedelic music scene, this dazzling guitar was a reflection of the exciting, experimental times in which it was made. While the visual style may have been new, the sound of the ’69 Blue Flower Telecaster was—and is— unmistakably Fender.

The ’69 Blue Flower Telecaster has all the Tele twang and bite you’ve grown to love, courtesy of the pair of vintage-style single-coil Tele pickups. The traditional control complement— master volume, tone and a three-position pickup switch—shape the pickups’ voice to match your sonic vision. The American Vintage three-saddle string-through-body bridge offers chrome barrel saddles for classic Fender tone. Topped by a vintage-accurate 7.25 in.-radius maple fingerboard, the comfortable “Slim C”-shaped one-piece maple neck hosts 21 vintage frets and a synthetic bone nut.
Chromed hardware, cast/sealed Gotoh tuning machines and a four-bolt neck plate; all the classic appointments that made a Telecaster shine on stage under the spotlights are here. Straddling the line between instrument and art, the ’69 Blue Flower Telecaster is a stunning example of Fender’s legacy of eye-catching aesthetics.
