I have a Jap Tele custom in Black. I love that guitar. All it needed was a new rear pup.

I love those guitars (although in Block colours rather than the woods) but I hate the gap between the pickguard and the bridge. I mean - wtf is that all about?

You have an ashtray cover? Do you like it? I've never known anyone to use it.

If I was buying a Tele that would definitely be it. I played a very early 70's one all black with a gloss maple fretboard of a friends at a very young age. All I knew at the time was that it was the sweetest guitar I had played or seen. The guy bought it from his friend who worked at the Fender factory. It did not have a decal or serial # as the guy assembled it and just sort of took it home. Makes me wonder how many other real Fenders like this are out there.

Good Question. I got a hold of a guine Fender Telecaster Factory second neck one time. it made a great guitar. I played it for many years then sold it on a different body when swapping around parts. The neck was maple with a funny grain on the fingerboard. I miss that guitar.

Yep - I have an early 90's Jap, sunburst with a maple neck & beat to hell.
Love it to bits.
