Squier Japan 83 Tele Custom (SQ)

[MatthewK]

Hi all,

Thought I would share my 83 Tele Custom - bought it from Japan, it's a domestic-only model, CTC-55. Plays beautifully, sounds a little undefined, I've bought some 1 meg pots to wake it up (will save the original electrics of course).







(the last is with a sibling, a late 80s Fender Japan TL52-70).

Thanks guys, it is a good one. I had been looking for a Tele for a while and nothing really caught my eye, then a guy in Japan listed that and I thought "yep, that's the one for me!" I probably paid a little over the odds, but a year down the track it's still my favourite, even though I own "better" guitars.

Nice Tele! If you ever want to sell the old electronics from it, please let me know! I would buy the pots from you if your ever selling them!
