The Fender Japan Sparkle Telecaster in a shimmering sparkle finish is available in Blue, Silver, Black, or Orange. It follows on from the Sho Watanabe Telecaster from earlier this week.
Sparkle Telecaster
Fender Japan Sparkle Telecaster isn’t just about the aesthetics, though. It’s equipped with a pair of Black Top Filter’Tron pickups, known for their balance and clarity. This pickup ensures that whether you’re playing at low or high gain, your sound remains punchy, loud, and, most importantly, crystal clear.
In terms of construction, this guitar respects the legendary Telecaster blueprint. It boasts an alder body, which is known for its lightweight and balanced tonality, a C-shape maple neck for comfort and playability, and a 9.5”-radius rosewood fretboard. The fretboard is adorned with 22 narrow-tall frets, white dot inlays, and a bone nut, enhancing both its playability and aesthetic appeal.
Limited Edition
This Limited Edition Sparkle Telecaster is another interesting release for the Japanese market, that bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
However, its availability is exclusive, with production capped in the year 2023, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors. It is a great looking take on a Telecaster and the pickup choice is also a good one.
MSRP – ¥ 159,500
