The Made in Japan Traditional series was derived by fusing Fender's traditional instrument-making aesthetics with sophisticated Japanese craftsmanship. Fender's orthodox DNA is revived with certain Made in Japan quality.

Made in Japan Traditional '50s Telecaster Limited Run Texas Special adopts a gloss finish basswood body, a Sonic Blue color not found in the regular model, and a Tortoiseshell pickguard. In addition, by adopting Custom Shop Texas Special Single-Coil Tele for the pickup that is the cornerstone of the sound, it outputs a sound with a more powerful midrange.

A 9.5 inch radius "U" shape maple neck equipped with 21 vintage style frets provides classical playability unique to the Traditional series. A vintage-style Sting-Through-Body bridge with 3 brass saddles and original pickups selected for the Traditional series deliver realistic and musical vintage tones. The narrow nut width makes it easy for Japanese players to play. Solid guitar craftsmanship and flexible answers to player needs are reflected in this series.
