Fender FSR Japan Hybrid Telecaster Custom, Roasted Maple, Indigo Overview

This Fender FSR Japan Hybrid Telecaster comes in a beautiful Indigo finish. The Japanese Fender team have become renowned for doing things a little differently to their American or Mexican counterparts and have become sought after guitars for their unconventional spec, yet spectacular build quality for the price. For this reason, Made-In-Japan guitars can be fairly hard to come by, making them hard to get your hands on and when you do see one, they disappear quick!

This particular Japanese Tele is an FSR model, standing for “Fender Special Run”. These guitars are specially commissioned, built to custom specifications and ship in limited numbers. This Fender FSR Japan Telecaster Custom, with a Vintage-Style Single-Coil Tele® in the bridge and a Fender® Wide Range Humbucker in the neck, roasted maple fingerboard and gorgeous Indigo finish, is only shipping from Fender in 50 units for the whole of Europe, so act fast!

Underneath the dazzling finish is an alder body and maple neck, which is the classic wood combo for a Fender Tele. The fingerboard on this model is made of Roasted Maple and paired with the retro pickguard to the single-coil/humbucker pickup combo, this is as classy as a Tele could be.

What makes this particular Tele unusual, is the roasted maple fingerboard. The advanced roasting process rids the wood of imperfections, making it extremely durable even through changing heat conditions. The roasting also darkens the wood hue to a luxurious caramel shade.

The thick “U” shape neck, filling the fretting hand just like an old school Tele would have been balanced out by a 9.5-inch radius and modern medium jumbo frets, making it comfortable and easy to play. The hardware includes a familiar three-saddle ashtray bridge and bone nut for famed Tele reliability.

The Fender FSR Hybrid Tele is equipped with a Vintage-Style single-coil pickup in the bridge position and a chunkier Wide Range humbucker in the neck. The Single coil provides your sparkling dynamic tone, which sounds great with a dash of overdrive, whereas the Wide Range Humbucker serves up the full fat, thickened leads and direct-sounding cleans.
