The Fender Made in Japan Heritage 50s Telecaster embodies the golden era of guitar craftsmanship, delivering an authentic vintage playing experience. Designed under the expert supervision of Mark Kendrick, a renowned Fender Custom Shop master builder, this Telecaster stays true to Fender’s rich heritage. Every detail, from the era-accurate ash body to the meticulously crafted pickups, captures the essence of the iconic 1950s Telecaster sound.
Built using profiling data from USA-made Fender guitars, this Heritage Series Telecaster features a lacquer-finished body that gracefully ages over time, enhancing its classic appeal. The 7.25-inch radius maple fingerboard and 1952 “U”-shaped neck ensure smooth playability, while the 3-saddle vintage-style string-through-body bridge with brass saddles delivers that signature Tele twang.
