1999-2002 Fender Floral Telecaster Japanese Reissue

Fender Japan Telecaster Floral 1999 - 2002 full front view

Comments	Here’s something unusual – a Fender Floral Telecaster Japanese Reissue, built between 1999 and 2002. From 1982 to 1997, Fender Japan contracted with Fiju-Gen to produce a line of Fender instruments. After 1997, production shifted to Dyna and Tokai. These instruments were sold within Japan and some, like this one, were shipped to North America. They are extremely good instruments with very high build quality; they easily stand up to comparison with a lot of US production. This particular example of the 1999-2002 Fender Floral Telecaster Japanese Reissue is in near-mint condition with a tweed hardshell case made by Gator.
Serial Number	P075859, dates to late between 1999 and 2003; built by Dyna or Tokai for Fender Japan. Unfortunately the serial numbering scheme for this period is not more specific.
Pricing	$750.00 CAD with Gator tweed hardshell case.
Neck	Maple neck with ‘skunk stripe’, adjuster at body end.
Frets	As new, no appreciable wear.
Body	Lightweight body, possibly basswood, with traditional Telecaster styling.
Finish	Blue-green and pink floral motif on the body, with clear poly on the neck. Finish is in very good condition.
Hardware/electronics	Completely original, except for the strings. Kluson-type split head tuners, chrome bridge, control plate, knobs, and pickup cover. Original pickups and wiring. The pickguard is clear plastic to show off the floral finish – except for s spray of blue around the neck pickup hole, to hide the pickup cavity.
Playability/Action	This plays just like a Telecaster – clean and crisp.
Case	Tweed Hardshell ‘Gator’ case included.
