Black Fender 50th Anniversary TL 90 DLX Telecaster - $900 (Tavares)
QR Code Link to This Post
The TL-90 DLX dimensions were modeled after the ‘62 Reissue Teles that were then being made in Japan. They have a slab Rosewood fretboard, 21 small-medium frets and a ‘62 style C neck. They have the Tele style output jack, an 8 hole pearloid pickguard, and accurate reproductions of the vintage Kluson style slotted tuners.
Besides the pickups, the physical differences between the TL-90 DLX and the ‘62 RI’s are a 6 saddle bridge, a 5 way pickup selector, and Strat style front and back body bevels (arm and belly relief) making them lighter and more comfortable than a standard Tele. They came from the factory with the control plate reversed from the standard Telecaster. Some people turned them to the traditional orientation, as was done on this one.
Some 50th Anniversary TL-90’s came with Foto Flame finishes, which was basically a film image of flame maple applied to the body and, as such, more prone to dings and play wear than traditionally painted versions like this one.
