Restoration '85 All Rose Telecaster Fender Japan TL-69 Do you cherish your guitar?

Overhaul and restore Fender Japan all-rose Telecaster TL-69.
This was my first time playing an all-rose guitar.
My first thought was that it was heavy....
However, I did not feel any imbalance.
Heavy ash body has the center of gravity on the body side, and it feels uncomfortable, or the balance doesn't feel right when you hold it in your hand.
But this one has a heavy neck. And the body is somewhat lighter (somewhat) because the body has hollows dug into it.
Because of the above, I didn't feel any discomfort when I held it. Except that it is heavy. But after a few days, or rather while I was working on it, I felt that the weight was almost gone and it was comfortable in my hand.
It is a Fender Japan A serial, so I think it was made by Fujigen in 1985.
The thing that I thought was great was the connection of the R's and the fact that there was no discomfort in the R's at all.
Mechanical beauty may sound tasteless, but it is extremely difficult to produce mechanical beauty by hand.
I think you can immediately sense that this is a high-end model or that it took a lot of time and effort.
I felt the paint was ridiculously thick.
Is this good or bad sonically? It depends on your taste, so I can't say it is a negative point in general.
The paint is surprisingly thick. I can understand this because it is a natural coating (clear coating), but it looked like it was 2mm thick....
It looked like polyester paint, but I am not sure if it is ester or not.
Just because it is lacquer does not mean it is a good paint. It is also possible that the thicker coating was applied to suppress the sound of the habitually strong body material.
Another thing is that I practice with polyester coated guitars? I don't dislike the sound of polyester coated guitars, which have a calmer sound.
It's all preference, though.
Thank you for your request.

Someone certainly knew what they were doing when the made this beauty; such an astonishing Fender Telecaster!! Incredible work Andy, your attention to detail is without equal!

[@vayabroder729]

The Fender Japan instruments are outstanding; lovely guitar and lovely work, sir!

[@waynepayne864]

man you have gift, talent, and the well deserved skills. ur an artist bro

[@abm1968]

I like rosewood guitars. And i have this one.

[@mitchell9937]

I don't understand how people dislike these videos. Your work is outstanding and they're super enjoyable to watch. Also a question. Why not use an ultrasonic cleaner for the screws and hardware? You can set it and come back later and all the dirt, grime, and a lot of oxidation will be gone. They'll just need a quick polish after.

[@Kyuuri9ch]

マスキングテープの切り方がいちいち丁寧！（褒め言葉です） こういう心持ちでギターに向き合いたい。 "ボロい"と"汚い"の違いを大事にしたいものです。

[@fujicofujicofujico]

いつ見ても惚れ惚れする。無論今回も然り

[@mitchmurrell753]

Gorgeous color and gloss on that Tele. I'd be super proud to have it.

[@Fawkes1978]

I'm probably not the first to say this but, your channel is the diametric opposite of relicing... 😄

[@stratplayr6997]

Another fantastic restoration!! I love your videos!

[@the_katman2181]

Such a lovely guitar. I really enjoy your videos.

[@jltrem]

Andy-san, you are the anti-relicing Master!

[@jasonrichardson8080]

Amazing work as usual. Wish I could send my 65 fender in for a refin

[@johnwhitaker545]

I’ve always wanted one of these

[@votevotevotevotevote]

You had me at "scrubbing the polish out of the backplate letters".

[@toshiyukiakai]

錆びている金属パーツが磨かれてきれいになる瞬間がいいですね。

[@user-nq1rd8li5t]

sheer quality as always

[@kiddcomet3563]

Dude your amazing 👍 the smallest details

[@reynaldianwar6594]

My dream guitar

[@doyleeee]

美しくなってこれからも何十年も大切にされていってほしいな

[@bananappa8513]

約40年前のギターを、これからまたずっと使っていけるものにしていく。素晴らしい仕事です!(同い年のギターだったので感慨深かったです笑)

[@saarbrandvin7749]

Woww Great job as always

Thanks Andy! I always look forward to your fine work!

[@user-t_nk]

久々に見たけどすごく技術上がってる気がする

[@fredericthom8113]

andy師範! 素晴らしいかた！ このギターはほとんど美術館の作品です！:)

[@user-kv7bl3wy4g]

Good job!!

[@pjevans854]

Beautiful restoration! I always feel like it’s late at night in a guitar shop, like time for some midnight guitar restoration when I watch these videos. This is a great channel.

[@cpfs936]

It's like ASMR for guitar geeks! 😉

[@ted501]

beautiful !!!

[@josephestes7076]

Beautiful work. I subscribed.

[@jhellnowh]

Epic stuff, it’s a pleasure and inspiration to watch. Thanks.

[@rinosphere]

Very zen.

[@vincenzoerriquenz2356]

Excellent work as usual!👌🏼👍🏼

[@tonyhills2112]

Hope you are doing well, I really enjoyed these restoration videos!

[@Andybassguitar]

ありがとうございます。

[@oogkauwgum5123]

What an absolutely gorgeous guitar, some of the most beautiful pieces of brasilian rosewood i’ve ever seen. Damn that’s pretty! Nice job too!

[@user-lj5gz9ev2y]

インスタで見てめちゃめちゃ気になってたやつ！！！ オールローズ激渋でかっこいい。

[@524_]

ジョージ・ハリスンも少しの間ですが使ってましたよねぇ

[@Eagle_eye__]

Wow that neck looks new

[@hidetsumuji9356]

素晴らしい。

[@russellkane9439]

Wow fantastic work

[@beestew79]

Those frets look amazing.

[@dongkeytumang9795]

I wish i could have my telecaster restored 😔

[@antonakis79ohyes]

Pure art, you should label these as ASMR videos, very relaxing to watch! Thanks!

[@cat_toy]

You can't help but admire the careful work 😻 😽 ❤ 🧡 💙 💛

[@Ty1972]

Beautiful!

[@clownscreamseback]

👍

[@cpfs936]

I was a bit surprised to see how much that rosewood had faded. I'm used to seeing colored finishes fade. I wonder if the finish had a tint to it originally?

[@andysaucedo3226]

This is the anti-relic video. Love that there are people that appreciate a restoration to look new as apposed to all those that butcher their instruments because of some flaud ego. Excellent work.

[@Andybassguitar]

ありがとうございます。

[@dolmaeng]

기타 완전 이쁘다

[@RainhillDaemon]

That's a beauty 🤩🤩🤩🎸

[@z.dealer]

最高です

[@andreacassanelli8351]

Hi, I would like to know what head you use on the dremel to polish metal so well, have a nice day!

[@user-mq8bw6ur3h]

あ！こいつは我が家にも‥ジョージが使ったモデルって事で衝動買いです 同時期に購入したフェンジャパのテレは ベンダー付きのを今でも所有してます ラッカー仕上げですが ケースに入れていたら溶けてしまいました‥

[@user-pj8zj2uo8v]

かつて同じグレードと思われる個体を所有してました。私の主有してたのはネックプレートが「F」マーク入り、ペグもFキーでした。この動画の個体はクルーソンタイプですが交換されたものでしょうか？ 音はほんとによい音で私はフロントの音が大好きでした。 残念ながローズのワンピースネックが安定せず、反ったり捩れたり大暴れで対応しきれず手放してしまったのが残念です。 この個体は大丈夫そうですね。

[@Andybassguitar]

ペグやプレートは純正品のように見えました。 ネックの方はこの個体は反りもなく、問題なかったです。 メイプルネックですと、弦を張ると多少なりとも順反り方向に反りますが、ローズは硬いのかハイフレットまで弦を張っても殆ど反りを感じず、独特な弾き心地を感じました。ローズネックの音以外の面白いところを感じ取ることができました。 確かに大暴れされると、弦を張っても順反り方向に動いてくれないので、（多少は動きますが）厳しいものがありますね。 あまり現実的ではないかもしれませんが、ネックシェイプの最適化と、指板修正で・・・とも思いましたが、厳しいときは厳しいかもしれませんね。 メイプルネックにするというのもありかもしれませんが・・・

[@user-zb2th1yp9d]

リューターのアタッチメント何使ってるか全部知りたい

[@524_]

オールローズのテレキャスだ！ 高いんだろうなぁ…

[@Slime-Man-Extreme]

nice job. Looks like it needs a fret level tho...

[@wdavis6814]

All Rose Tele? I'd love one 😭

[@Chrismelo.]

ufff que trabajo, que le aplicas al acabado del cuerpo?

[@Andybassguitar]

コンパウンドとワックスです。

[@hillsmith]

Did you polish the undersides of the string trees, where the strings make contact? Great video. Thank you.

[@ELRYTNAMROGO]

My favorite channel on KZbin, by far. Would like to see more of the Live Stream vids on your other channel too, if you’re ever inclined to do so. 👍

[@THRobinson]

Looks great but when showing the shine of the frets you could see lots of worn divets. Did the owner not want a level/crown after all that work?

[@dylanmcgarry1221]

Fender bros, on a 1-10 scale how big of a sin would it be to take the nitro off of the fret board? I love everything about this beautiful rosewood Tele but despise playing a laminted neck

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

You’d devalue it massively.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

You could mask off the headstock and heel areas and then carefully knock the shine off the back of the neck and the fingerboard with a Scotchbrite pad, if you’re careful enough it could be buffed back up to a shine again in future

[@shengjimo]

Is this fender made in japan？

[@Andybassguitar]

Yes.

[@user-qn5go9zb3k]

私の親友の形見のベースもOHして欲しいです！

[@methanedirigible]

Just came here to see the comments from boomers complaining about how taking all the filth off a guitar removes some notion of originality or authenticity.

[@johneeeemarry34]

‘Boomers’, notion’, ‘authenticity’…

[@kitchenbriks3685]

Please upgrade your lighting. It would be great to get a better view of your work without the awful yellow hue. Otherwise great work!

[@3DEis]

Лады хоть и отполированы, но впадины в них остались 👀

[@Val-dk1zt]

Только у Кита Ричардса любимая гитара был затертый до дыр желтый телек. И пох ему на блескушки)

[@user-oy9cf8do7b]

テレキャスは、ギターとして欠陥品ですよ ストラトでいい。

[@Andybassguitar]

ギターなんて楽器として欠陥品ですよ。 打ち込みでいい？
