So, I own an Olympic White Tele Thinline '69 reissue with a matching oly white headstock. I bought this sucker for $350 on craigslist and I didn't realize that it was of a limited run-- I just really like olympic white. Does anybody know anything about this limited run?

http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-Fender-FSR-69- ... 7265365957

In essence, that's my guitar-- I don't know if I believe that guy yammering about the limited run being made for Japan... because that guitar is from Mexico (as is mine), and I think I remember reading somewhere that the limited run for Japan was made in California. Maybe? Am I entirely wrong?

Anyways, I'm just curious. Please share if you know about the story behind this strange paint job! :D

WOW!!!! $350 is a pretty great price, if it is in at least decent condition.

I purchased one new, when they were first released. The retailer I purchased from told me 250 made and yes for a Japanese retailer. The deal fell apart so Fender released them stateside.

Usually see them selling for $550+

I have since sold mine...

But kept these other MIM's... :wink:

It was near mint when I got it, and I treat it well! So indeed it was a bargain :)

I have a serious love for these guitars... your other Teles look gorgeous in that picture.

Thanks for the info!
