I had Fender Japan build this for me a few years ago. It was a custom order and so I requested that the body be made of period-correct alder rather than their more typical use of basswood. Once it arrived at Fender USA, Ronee Peña at the Custom Shop gutted it and replaced all of the Japanese hardware and electronics with the 'good stuff', including Broadcaster/Twisted Tele pups, 4 way switch and all the other of my preferred specs and tweaks. The solid color on the edges is much more of an Ocean Turquoise Metallic than is indicated by the photos-really pretty! I think this model is very rare in a left handed version-hope you enjoy!
Best,
EE
