Telecasters of GFSA

I’m getting tired of looking at Strats so calling all Telecasters of GFSA! As long as you own it and it has a Tele shape you are more than welcome to post here!

Can't believe there isn’t a thread for Telecasters, what’s the matter with you people?

Let me start off with these

TL50 Squier Silver Series MIJ Fugi Gen '93

TL52 52' Reissue MIJ Fugi Gen '88

TL62B 62 Reissue MIJ Fugi Gen '86

Correction. ?

What you have is a TTE50 ASH.

The ATE82 is a modern version of the original TTE50.
The ATE82 has the modified headstock, a 9.5" neck radius and medium frets.
Your TTE50 has a vintage 7.25" neck radius, vintage frets and a vintage headstock.

Are these the ones with the original CuNiFe wide range pickups or the AlNiCo reissues? ?

Yup, that's vintage accurate.

Oh right, the tag on the guitar was Ate82 but indeed it has the low frets and 7.25" radius.

Yep, flat there. Many Fenders also have that flat section. Edit: MikeM beat me to it.

I actually thought all Teles were like that. Interesting.

All my TL Fugi Gen's all have that too. The Japanese know how to copy things down to the last T for Telecaster.

I tried explaining it to the music store salesman who tags the guitars, but eventually I gave up because he just couldn't grasp what I was saying. ?
The store had both models, he used ATE82 on both tags because they were the same colour. ?

Always eager to learn eh? :? Pity that some people care so little about things we cherish so much

Tokai buggered up the kerning in the "Breezysound" logo. Go figure.
