It's a Fender Telecaster "crafted in Japan" as described on the handle. The binding is absolutely beautiful and the color (candy apple red for mine) is superb
I t seeks its prcises CHARACTERISTICS ISHIBASHI on a Japanese site:

UTILIZATION

First of all let me say that the varnish is a utiliss trs good quality finish of the handle (frets, shape and inlays) are perfect.
Note the head of the guitar that has no hole for the truss-rod rgler, it is necessary to remove the handle for the ACCS truss-rod.
Ergonomics is a good telecaster.
It also has a good weight, compared the Lite Ash's custom '62 is heavier, probably of alder wood which is heavier than the frne.
To my amazement, these vintage style mcanniques KLUSON required to provide good agreement.
A vacuum it sounds hell dja branch is the start!

SOUNDS

I read in the reviews of previous ones critical of the microphones, which are nevertheless of special texas made in United States! Possd with a lite ash before, I can tell you that Seymour really cheap (dsl for people who possdent the lite ash) of the Texas special cot. The twang is well, even in "big" wad saturation harmonics! The bass are sche!
As for him, the micro neck brings all the softness you would expect from him, great, but may be lack of dynamics, but may be I quibble l.
I read in forums that this electronic guitar "lgre" nanmoins I do not have parasites and knobs are the sound of Manir evolve gradually. So everything is ok! So I do not change these texas special pickups that provide a cot over the pchu tl has a Japanese American Standard.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold my lite ash tele to buy me another, not a true tl factory in factories without Cort pickups fender. I visited Cologne, MusicStore, APRS and several trials with the Baja, I left with the classic Fender telecaster custom 62, which only cost me 649. Than 649 because in terms of its quality of sound and its look and is well worth it. To me, it is as good as tl US but with its vintage cot (and bridge mcaniques) so without the novelties possder Bi-flex trussrod and delta tone. So for lovers of vintage CHARACTERISTICS! I count it later install a kit Bigsby "F"!

If I had to buy a tl I think I will redeem it, with a kit to add a Bigsby!
