New Left Handed Fender Japan FSR Guitars Coming Soon

Who doesn’t love a limited edition left handed Fender? Here, have three of them…

Fender will be releasing three brand new left handed FSR guitars in limited numbers from the Japan Exclusive Series. Previously only available in Japan, these are expected around December this year. These went down really well when I showed them off on Facebook recently, with the thinline in particular resonating well with readers. And why wouldn’t it? It’s awesome!

Left Handed Classic ’72 Telecaster Thinline

Now here’s something different! Featuring a lightweight semi-hollow ash body, humbuckers for a slightly meatier sound, a new pickguard design, and a single f-hole accent, this guitar is sure to stand out in your collection.

Left Handed Fender Classic 72 Thinline Telecaster
  • Body : Semi-Hollow Ash
  • Neck : 1-Piece Maple (Slim ‘C’ Shape)
  • Fingerboard : Maple (7.25″ Radius)
  • Frets : 21 Vintage Style
  • Pickups : Vintage Style Wide-Range Humbuckers
  • Bridge : 6-Saddle Vintage Style String-Thru
  • Finish : Natural

Left Handed Classic 50s Telecaster

With its authentic, vintage 50s style features, this Off-White Blonde is a great buy for players who have to have that original look, feel and tone. Original Telecaster specifications are present and accounted for, from the vintage voiced pickups to the 7.25″ fretboard radius.

Left Handed Classic 60s Telecaster Custom

Normally only available in Japan, this sought-after model will shortly be available left handed in limited numbers. This one is pretty special due to it having a bound-body (it’s hard to tell in the picture below), as well as being one of the very few current left handed Telecasters with a rosewood fingerboard.

All of the specifications listed above are correct as of the spec sheets I was sent. The preview images provided may differ slightly from the final products.

These 3 new FSR Japan models are expected sometime around December this year. I don’t have word about worldwide availability yet, however they will definitely be available in Europe. If interested, UK/Euro southpaws can pre-order here.
