Fender Vintage 1985 Contemporary Telecaster HH MIJ – Hot-Rodded Shred Machine
This ain’t your average Telecaster—it’s the kind of guitar that shows up late to rehearsal in a Camaro, smells like solder and danger, and melts everyone else's tone by accident.
Behold the 1985 Fender Japan Contemporary Telecaster HH, a full-blown MIJ tone weapon from the golden age of shred-friendly experimentation. Fender took the Tele shape and fed it an entire diet of Superstrat protein powder. The result? Something gloriously unholy.
- Upgraded Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion set – more output than a conspiracy theorist’s YouTube channel.
- Blower switch – bypasses everything and goes straight to bridge pickup fury.
- Fender-branded locking tremolo (Gotoh-made) still fully operational for divebomb chaos.
- Nut lockers have been removed, because someone said, “let it breathe.” It still holds tuning like a champ if you’re not full Steve Vai mode 24/7.
- Comes with a hard shell case, because this guitar deserves better than a gig bag.
- Black hardware, matching black headstock, and a vibe that says “yes, I have soloed over the Top Gun theme.”
Cosmetically, it's got bumps, bruises, and the kind of honest road wear you only get from a guitar that’s actually been used to fight sonic battles. No fake relic here—this is the real deal, with scars and swagger to prove it.
Made in Japan. Made for mischief. Made to be loud. This one’s for the players who don’t just want to stand out—they want to stand over the wreckage of lesser guitars.
