Fender Japan 1962 Telecaster Reissue in Candy Apple Red, USED

The Fender Japan 1962 Telecaster Reissue in Candy Apple Red is a faithful recreation of one of Fender's most iconic Telecaster models. Made in Japan, this reissue combines vintage-inspired features with the attention to detail and craftsmanship Fender Japan is renowned for, resulting in a guitar that captures the essence of the early '60s Telecasters. The Candy Apple Red finish is both vibrant and classy, giving the instrument a timeless appeal that stands out on stage and captures the vintage vibe with authenticity.

This model features an alder body, which contributes to a balanced tone with warm mids, clear highs, and a well-rounded low end—qualities that Telecasters are celebrated for. The maple neck is shaped in a classic “C” profile, offering a comfortable feel that suits a wide range of playing styles. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard, the neck has a slightly warmer, more mellow tone compared to all-maple necks, enhancing the instrument's versatility, especially for blues, rock, and jazz.

The guitar is equipped with vintage-style single-coil pickups that faithfully replicate the sounds of the era, delivering the classic Tele twang with clarity and a bit of edge. These pickups capture everything from the rich, cutting bridge position to the warmer, rounder neck tones, ideal for achieving that unmistakable Telecaster snap and brightness. The 3-saddle bridge and vintage tuners not only contribute to the classic look but also enhance the sustain and tuning stability.

Fender Japan’s 1962 Telecaster Reissue stands as a great option for players who want an authentic vintage feel combined with the reliability of a modern build. Its classic look, premium craftsmanship, and exceptional tone make it a versatile choice for both collectors and performing musicians seeking an iconic sound and style.
