The brand - new Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Telecaster® pickups offer a clear and boosted Telecaster® tone. Vintage - style tuners and a 6 - Saddle Vintage - Style Strings - Through - Body Tele® bridge guarantee tuning stability. A back cut provides a comfortable fit against your body. Specifications include a Telecaster body shape made of basswood in black with a gloss polyester finish. The rosewood fretboard has a 9.5' (241 mm) radius, 22 frets, and white dot inlays. It comes with Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Telecaster® pickups at the bridge and neck, a 6 - Saddle Vintage - Style Strings - Through - Body Tele® bridge, a 3 - Ply Mint Green pickguard, nickel - plated steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges), vintage - style tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and a gig bag.
Using this Fender Japan Junior Collection Telecaster is easy. First, take it out of the gig bag. Plug it into an amplifier using a guitar cable. You can start strumming and playing right away. When playing, since it has a shorter scale, it'll be easier to reach chords compared to regular guitars. To keep it in tune, use the vintage - style tuners carefully. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and fretboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the gloss polyester finish. When not in use, store it in the gig bag and keep it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity. If you need to change the strings, use nickel - plated steel strings of.009 -.042 gauges and follow the standard string - changing process for Telecaster guitars.
