Fender American Vintage 62 Telecaster 3-Tone Sunburst - Nevada Music UK

Buy this guitar here... http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/guitar/electric/fender-american-vintage-62-custo... These days the world's first ever mass produced electric guitar, the Telecaster exists in many forms. Here we get to examine a beautiful 3 tone sunburst USA custom reissue.

To start, we have a double bound Alder body finished immaculately in a perfectly applied 3 tone sunburst. The C profile Maple neck is home to a dark Rosewood fret board featuring a 7.25" vintage radius, white dot position markers and 21 vintage style frets. The headstock is period correct with the appropriate Fender decal and a set of vintage style Kluson machine heads

Fitted to the body is a vintage style ashtray bridge loaded with three threaded barrels. The pickups are USA '62 custom single coil units controlled via a period correct wiring three way switch fitted with a "top hat" switch tip plus master volume and tone controls. A 3 ply mint green pick guard completes the look. Comes with a brown luxury hard-shell case and case candy.

Tony Farinha was kind enough to pop down to the store to demo the guitar and is one of Nevada's local guitar professionals who as well as performing in several bands also offers private guitar tuition for all ages and abilities. Check out his Youtube page for more info.

the player sounds like he's outta synch...

[todomusika]

dude you only do upstrokes?

[glasstubes1]

LOOK AT THAT THUMB! 3:23

[Floridaboy7777]

It DOES sound like Tony is out of synch. But His playing MORE than makes up for it. He could be playing along to old people gurgling as they take out their dentures, it would still sound good :)

[stevoe1000]

Anyone know what the pick ups are like... high output, texas... etc...

[VHT418]

@JohnnyFriendly Ehh, I don't know about that. I have a Fender made MIJ jackson Soloist, and the thing's been through hell and back. Never gave me any problems. You ever check out ESP or their sister company, Edwards? They make fine guitars, and it's all MIJ. I have a couple MIA guitars as well(Ovations, Gibsons, fender, etc) and I agree the quality is better, but you can't really knock the MIJ stuff either. Quality control has come a long way for Japanese products.

[JohnnyFriendly]

@VHT418 I dont think that neccessarily refects well on MIJs though. That's more an indicator of how poor US guitar manufacturing was during the '80s.

[VHT418]

@JohnnyFriendly The Mij Strats in the 80s if I recall correctly, were considered better than the American ones, and are very sought after actually...

[Orieus]

@JohnnyFriendly oh really well i have 2 MIJ one for the 80s the other from the 90s, they are built well and have lasted forever. So i disagree with u. Ive had more issues with american strats then mij.

[dthe1o]

@JohnnyFriendly the new ones (built in the factory in tokai) are not quite as good as an american one fair enough. but i have a 62 ri from 1984 made in fujigen and it is sure better sounding and more lovely to play than a new american standard.

[JohnnyFriendly]

@dthe1o i used to think this way but then i discovered that after a couple of years, you encounter massive limitations with these mij, mik, mic's etcs. MIA's will keep you going forever.

Bottom line: If you want to progress as a musician, you need a good instrument (and an MIJ isn't one)

that is one sexy guitar
