First post, second Telecaster purchase! From Japan!
Hi everyone,

First post, so hello :)

I owned a US ash telecaster a few years ago but had to sell to fund a new roof. Always missed it. So this week I turned 40 and bought myself another Telecaster, from Ishibashi in Japan! It's a '62 Reissue in Old Lake Placid Blue, looks so classy.

It shipped but I am not sure when it'll arrive. Hoping in the next week, we'll see!

USED FENDER JAPAN
1962 REISSUE TELECASTER
BOUND BODY
w/TEXAS SPECIAL PICKUPS
CRAFTED IN JAPAN!!
YEAR: 2002-2004
TL62B-75TX/OLB(Old Lake Placid Blue)

Congratulations.

You need to live to the Midwest where hail comes through every couple of years. Insurance will by the roof, so you can buy guitars.

Insurance will pay for hail damage in Phoenix, too! Awesome guitar, to the original poster! Love double-bounds!

That's just stunning

It's like the love child between my MIJ black custom and MIM 60s Lake placid blue strat - really tasty

The Japanese Teles are special guitars - I hope you enjoy it for many years

That's a fine looking instrument - half the fun of ordering stuff is the anticipation waiting for it to arrive.

I really like that guitar. That's one of the nicest bound models i have seen and I think the RW fingerboard sets that color off nicely. That is a beauty!

Indeed a wonderful guitar, got one myself. I have made many tests to get a very nice, crunchy sound on the neck p'up, so check this: Use the neck p/u, hook up a decent overdrive, roll of the tone to about,"8" and then roll check out what happens with the treble when you roll off the volume - as opposed to many other guitars the sound on these (at least mine..) get crispier, and twangier.
I love this feature and I hope your beautiful LPB has the same pots as mine...
