Fender Limited Run Mahogany Offset Telecaster (MIJ)

Thanks for the pointer to Wildwood. These are thick necks (the thinnest is 0.9" at the nut). Pretty heavy too. Will pass.

What I don’t like about those is the weight, and that they’re poly finish. Those are gas killers for me.

They've got one that is 7.6 lbs. That's pretty light. The other two are over 9 lbs though.

I didn’t see that one. It’s gone now.

It was there when I posted it. Maybe someone here bought it.

I have one of these. I bought it from a guy who got it in Japan. I've had it for a couple of months. mine is under 8lbs. It had a 2 piece body with the seam dead center. It looks like furniture... sounds really good. $799 is a bargain for it...

Telemasters would be much more interesting if they had vibratos.

Stupid guitar made me start a new project spec'ed to my peculiar preferences...

At that weight and price, I could def live with the poly finish on that guitar. It looks like a Custom Shop model.

That's funny because the fact that it's string through body makes me want it more.

Looks like a tone machine to me. Added contours for comfort are a huge bonus as well.

Awesome guitar. Got to try one at a local shop and was really impressed, so I put down a deposit. I am usually a "C" neck type of guy, but the "U" neck on this felt perfect. Pickups sounded great, especially the neck pickup. The one I tried was average weight, not heavy at all. Everything about the guitar was on point. I have always been a fan of MIJ Fenders, aside from the questionable pickups in some of them. I was told they only made 200 of these.. I bet they go fast.

The tele twang of the hardtail is an essential ingredient, to me. Otherwise you might as well just stick a Novak JM-T in a regular JM (which I have done, and is awesome, but doesn't feel it sound like a Telecaster).

I love telemasters because they are the Fendery alternative to all those horrid TOM/stop-equipped hardtail offsets (of which I also own one, but wish it had a different bridge). It's the hardtail JM done right IMO.

Definitely much better than a TOM. Toronado was my first love though so that fits.

Ugh I want one of these SO bad. Would be cool if they had a trem.

Um, that was probably me I sent the first one back because it was over 9 pounds. The heavy ones are probably all that's left out there in the US wild..

Bumping this thread to see what people are thinking of these now that they've been out in the wild for a little while.

One popped up used locally but I'm not sure what a decent price would be considered for these?
