1996 Fender Sunburst FotoFlame Telecaster 50th Anniversary Model~ MIJ Guitar
Product description
1996 Fender Sunburst FotoFlame Telecaster 50th Anniversary Model~ MIJ Guitar
For your viewing pleasure today is this 1996 Made in Japan(MIJ) Fender FotoFlame Tri Color Sunburst 50th Anniversary Telecaster in very good player grade condition w gig bag, (sorry folks, bought this without any type of hard case). She's in overall very good, player grade condition, exhibiting 25 years of natural relic'ing, showing multiple bruises, scuffs, paint chips, dings, etc that come from 1000's of hours of loving play wear, NOT artificial distressing, which quite personally, in our opinion, is very uncool. Personally, this is the condition that we love to find when searching for instruments, as this shows how much someone thought of, loved & played this particular instrument.

Serial number: U012660 (back of neck above where neck joins the body);
MADE IN JAPAN (MIJ~1996);
Solid Telecaster single cutaway body;

Wonderful, vivid 3 tone, tri color sunburst FotoFlame finish on the front & rear of the solid contoured body;
Bolt on striped maple neck with a solid rosewood fingerboard & a 4 hole chrome neck plate;
Standard Tele headstock profile with standard style Kluson in line tuning gears with chrome buttons;
Original off-white, sometimes referred to as a "mother of toilet seat", pearloid pick guard;

ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD IN AS-IS CONDITION
All of our instruments sold are in complete, working condition. This instrument was professionally inspected, repaired if necessary & given a pro set-up by one of our favorite luthiers/guitarist/composer/teacher & fantastic all around human being as well as the co-founder of April Mae & The Junebugs, Dave "Catfish" Fecca of Dave Fecca Guitar Repair located in Moorestown, NJ...so this axe is ready to rip!
CONDITION:
Instrument is in very good player grade condition, in our opinion. Our luthier gave this a full pro set-up, including polishing the fretboard and oiling the tuners. He cleaned all electronics, adjusted the neck & action, and set the intonation. He replaced a missing white tip for the pickup selector but everything else is all original.
Cosmetically, the guitar has some assorted dings along the body and edges of the guitar as well as  some bubbling of the finish on the sides and back of the body. That being said, these cosmetic imperfections do not affect the playability of the instrument whatsoever. Please see the attached photos for specific, current state of condition.

Guitar weighs in at 7lbs, 6 1/2 oz.
