1974 Fernandes (Burny Japan) FTC60-BL Telecaster Custom (Black)

1974 Fernandes (Burny Japan) FTC60-BL Telecaster Custom (Black)Made in Japan in the mid 1970's, the TCL60 was a very rare early example of Fernandes copying the Fender Telecaster Custom design. Solid maple silver heart body bolted to a maple neck and maple fingerboard, it weighs 3. 9kg's. Loaded with the original single coil and wide range humbucker pickups, a three bolt neck plate with micro tilt adjustment and a bullet truss rod, it's got all the 70's look, feel and sound you'd expect from a Tele Custom.

it's in good used condition as pictured with no breaks or repairs

along with the Stratocaster we're also selling

The dreadnought is considered the classic go-to shape for bluegrass

The LQ part of the model number indicates that it's painted with a catalysed lacquer finish

plays well and was restrung recently with tapewounds

The frets are shiny and the neck is straight with a fully functional truss

Received a professional setup and service prior to listing and plays nicely with a straight neck and shiny frets

Has a few basic blemishes to the finish and a few small dings but overall it's clean and plays well

Japanese made by Fernandes in 1975

The 12” radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets facilitate fluid leads and choke free bends

meaning you get a lot more tuning stability than the later models with the wobbly tremolo system

Original Grover tuners (say hi to Orville while you're tuning) with the original 490R/500T humbuckers
