Fender Japan 2023 Hybrid II Telecaster Daphne Blue Matching Headstock

This exquisite instrument showcases a rare and vibrant visual presence, featuring a flawless Daphne Blue gloss finish paired perfectly with a factory matching painted headstock. Built as a highly sought-after Factory Special Run model, this Telecaster beautifully balances legendary mid-century style with modern precision engineering refinements. It features a contoured solid alder body married to a modern C-shaped maple neck with a smooth satin back finish, a 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, and narrow-tall frets designed for effortless bending and slick note articulation.

The electronics are driven by a pair of Hybrid II Custom Voiced single-coil Telecaster pickups, specifically wound to retain iconic high-end snap, woody snap, and string-to-string balance while offering enhanced noise insulation when pushing into modern drive channels. The vintage-style string-through-body bridge plate features three brass barrel saddles to optimize natural sustain, coupled with vintage-style locking tuning machines that provide absolute pitch stability.

The structural integrity and overall setup are pristine, providing fluid low action with virtually zero wear on the original frets. The glossy finish presents beautifully throughout, save for a single small finish ding located on the front face of the body near the edge of the chrome control plate. This minor blemish is entirely surface-level and stable, leaving the surrounding Daphne Blue lacquer untouched. This premium import arrives stateside fully detailed and includes its genuine Fender soft case, factory registration cards, manual packet.
