If you want another Telecaster with lots of tonal opportunity try to get your hands on a Boxer TL-555 from the 80's. They were made in Japan, had a tremolo with locking nut, dual humbuckers that can be split and the Fender TBX tone knob which is essentially 2 tone knobs stacked together where the first half of the knob is like standard tone and the second half is driven tone. They were released in North America for a few brief years as part of the Fender Contemporary series. I have one and it is amazing. Frank Black of the Pixies also swore by them for a long time.

Literal perfect timing!!! I was looking for a review

I picked this up last week in Japan in a used electronics shop called Book Off in perfect/new condition for what came out to be $1,274.13. I have been a fan of Miyavi since his early visual kei days so I was pretty excited to find this at that price. I had no issues getting it home as a carry-on with the original Fender gig bag. Compared to my Jimmy Page mirror telecaster which to me has a gritty sounding guitar, this guitar a very beefy sound. The middle pickup cleans up very well and really helps balance out the tone options. I would essentially characterize it as a dual humbucker strat with a thicker body. This is also my first guitar with a sustainer so it is really fun to experiment with it especially toggling it in the middle of solos. This guitar to me is a true gigging instrument for telecaster fans because of the options it provides. I think traditional telecaster fans might shy away from this because the beck profile and tones reminds me more a strat than a typical tele. However, if you are someone who loves the look and feel of a tele but wants a guitar that has strat vibes without switching to a strat, this is a great guitar for that. I would like to argue the build quality of this guitar is better than Fender USA especially for the price I paid. Don't get me wrong, my Fender USA Jimmy Page has now flaws and feels great, but MIJ guitars feel like to go a step or two further. I also really, really wish Fender would sell MIJ artist guitars in the US if they could do so without impacting the quality. I am a big fan of the quirky non-traditional guitars that Fender has in Japan and they are absolutely stunning in person. We need to see more guitars like this in the US. The Brent Mason guitar, I would argue, is the US equivalent of a truly modified artist model telecaster. Perhaps my next telecaster purchase in Japan will be the Haruna telecaster with block inlays. It does not seem to be on the Fender JP site anymore, but several shops had one in stock.

That's a really cool Tele variation, both with the pickup arrangement and the trem arm.

Miyavi is a guitar god. Dude is an ageless wonder.

This guitar is great! The review was good!

One thing to note, the sustainer pickup should have been set at the optimal height at the factory for the sustain driver and circuit to work. By adjusting the height, you may have thrown it out of balance, hence why the sustainer seems to take a very long time to get the string vibrating to the correct amplitude.

Why can’t we get these cool guitars!

FYI: When the Fernandes Sustainer (in the neck pos) is switched ON, it doesn’t transmit string tones anymore but resonates them. On this behalf, another pickup has to do the »transmitting« job, usually the bridge pickup is electronically connected then, even without regarding the pu-switch position. Maybe that’s why you are puzzled by the tones that come out of this guitar.

That sustainer is crazy! Such a nice tele

Fender Japan never fails to surprise us. Silent Siren, Haruna Scandal, Now this Miyavi sig guitar.

I have a 1984/87 Japanese HSS Telecaster, it originally had a Kahler locking tremolo but having left it with an ex mate for a considerable time it was returned with parts of the trem damaged, I have replaced it with a generic floating bridge to fit the original studs, the Kahler system had a locking piece on the head above the nut so I removed this and put in two Graphtech string trees, I like the more quirky Fender's, I have a 70's reissue Strat from 1999 and a 04 Korean Lite Ash Strat, beautiful birds eye maple neck and fret board with Seymour Duncan pick ups.

The Super vee Maverick is one of the coolest looking trems I've ever seen honestly.

it is so nice to watch him become a better guitar player

Loved this episode. It’s awesome to see models from Japan from big name brands like Fender especially because a lot of those models go completely unnoticed here in the states. Keep the funky non classic models coming!

Please do the jino jazz bass next please!

I already have a Partscaster Tele, with Quarter Pounder Duncans on it, and since I have also bought a 4-way switch, I think might also invest on a Maverick Super Vee Vibrato and some good quality locking tuners (Either Schaller or Gotoh). By the way, great video Trogly.

Glad to see you back on a normal sleep/work schedule

Love the champion lance theme cover!!

I love this Fender Telecaster!! 😍👍 I always thought tele's should have 3 pickups on it! Want one for sure! 😉

That thing is awesome! I have an American Special Tele with the same Lil 59 humbucker in the bridge. It freaking ROARS. The odd trem in this one is well pretty good sounding.

Does bending change the tunings like a strat, or stay the same like a tele?

I believe Trem King also makes tele trems. I've never used one, but if I was going to trm on a tele, I would install a Vibramate with B5 so it doesn't require drilling into the top.

Oh I like it. Sounds great with the o/d on . Would be nice black on black.

One of the coolest guitars you’ve had on here!

Cool guitar! You brought out some spooky tones. That can have it’s applications.👍🏻

Absolutely fascinating. And one that doesnt have irritating quirks that you particularly dont like. That is interesting as well. I enjoy your critical eye. This guitar broaches on being near perfect regardless the idea it could likely be made for less...

How long will the flexi part of the bridge last?

Nice Michael Scott-ish intro to your clean demo, really natural playing these days!

Awesome man. I have seen a few news articles about it. Can't believe you have one already. Your the man

he was with taylor for so many years, glad to see some change, i like the artist alot. thanks for the review Trogly

I made a tele with 24 frets, 2 humbuckers, and a floyd rose. Its pretty nice. I did it just to see if I could. Had to use a Gibson scale length to fit all 24 frets on it and the bridge is about an inch forward.

That feedback is killer, i love it!!

I really like the sustainer's bottom setting, I want to learn how to get the interference sound on my guitar, I've had it accidentally a couple times

Oh men, thanks for explaining the bridge!

I have the EOB strat - I’ve played this one too. Because it’s MIJ and ‘Ltd’, that’s worth the $ difference?

Trogly playing some pokemon rifs on a Japanese fender! Very cool, great sounding guitar too

Wow! Isn't this special? A Wang Jangly Tele. The content gets better and better on this channel. Thanks Austin!

I always figured the springs-in-the back tremolo is a big part of why Strats and Teles sound different from each other. I have a 3 pickup Tele, and while combining the middle pickup adds a little Strat-y funk, it’s otherwise a Tele all the way. I was thinking the tremolo in this model might make it sound more strat-like, and it does with the neck pickup distorted. The humbucker in the bridge throws off the equation in fully testing my theory though.

I just love he did the pokemon battle them lmao
