The Fender JV Modified '50s Telecaster is a Made in Japan model inspired by the highly regarded Japanese Vintage (JV) Fender reissues of the early 1980s. It combines classic 1950s Telecaster styling with modern performance features.

Description

The JV Modified '50s Telecaster is designed for players who love the look and character of a vintage Tele but want more flexibility and modern playability. The basswood body keeps the instrument lightweight and resonant, while the vintage-style pickups deliver classic Telecaster sparkle, bite, and articulation. The added 4-way switching and phase options make it capable of everything from traditional country tones to thicker rock sounds.
