Fender Japan 1st Edition Telecaster '52 'Micawber' MIJ FujiGen Built 1989
Here is a scarce late 1980’s Fender Japan FujiGen built Micawber Telecaster. It’s an I-Serial (1989-90) and was built for Fender at the renowned FujiGen plant in Japan. It’s a 1952 reissue with a great sounding factory installed Dragster humbucker in the neck based on Keith Richards ‘Micawber’ Tele. It has a beautiful butterscotch blonde finish, which is darkening nicely. White ash body with ash grain showing underneath the blonde finish. It has a maple neck and very nice vintage player worn fingerboard with a 7.25 radius. The bridge pick-up is nice and meaty sounding. The neck is dead straight, truss rod fine and plenty of life left in the frets. Structurally and electrically sound. No issues at all. No breaks, repairs or routing. Has some nice looking nature aging all over. It has a dull patina over all the metal hardware inc the brass bridge & saddles. It’s a hefty old lump like most of these white ash 80’s FujiGens and tips the scales at 4.9kg. A great playing Tele, the pickups are both outstanding and work well together, much more balanced than we usually find with these vintage Micawbers. The factory single coil more than holds its own against the humbucker. All in all a very cool 35 year old Fender Japan Micawber. Complete with Telecaster hardcase with key.
