1 of 100 MADE - 1996 Fender Japan FOTOFLAME 1952 Reissue "Blackguard" ... TL-52D/AH Japanse Sen Ash

Built July 1996 at the FujiGen Factory.

The TL52D-AH is widely recognised among collectors as part of a very limited Foto-Flame ’52 Reissue run, commonly cited as numbering approximately 100 instruments. Based on repeated market examples and multiple online forums / Reverb listings spanning 1994–1996, this model is consistently described as a small, non-catalog, Japan-only Domestic Market production, never offered as part of Fender Japan’s regular lineup. These guitars surface extremely infrequently, even by Fender Japan limited-edition standards.

Vintage Natural finish has aged to a light butterscotch hue.

semi-chunky U-to-soft-V profile. Fender Japan TL pickups, traditional Tele layout, treble bleed, 3-saddle bridge, 7.25" radius.

Excellent vintage condition with light wear.

One of the rarest, most collectible and highly playable ’52-style Telecasters from 1990s Japan.
