Fender Made in Japan Limited Active Modern Telecaster RW, Black Overview
The Fender Made in Japan Limited Active Modern Telecaster RW is a bold twist on a timeless design, combining classic Tele tone with modern performance upgrades. Finished in Black, it keeps things clean and understated while offering serious versatility. With premium vintage-style pickups and an onboard active Turbo Tone circuit, you can jump from crisp, articulate cleans to thicker, more driven sounds instantly, making it a great fit for everything from indie and funk through to rock and heavier styles.
The alder body keeps the core tone balanced and punchy, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a smooth, responsive feel. A compound 9.5" to 14" radius makes chord work feel natural down low and gives you more room for bends higher up the neck. Medium jumbo frets and a modern C profile keep things fast and comfortable, while locking tuners and a string-through hardtail bridge provide solid tuning stability. It's a Tele that keeps its roots but feels ready for more demanding modern playing styles.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionModern Tele performance with a twist
This limited edition Telecaster takes the familiar Fender formula and gives it a modern edge. At its core, you've still got the snap, clarity, and punch that define the Tele sound, but it's been refined for players who need a bit more flexibility. The clean Black finish keeps things understated, while the upgraded hardware and electronics push it well beyond traditional territory, making it a strong choice for players who want a classic platform with expanded tonal range.
Active Turbo Tone for added power
One of the standout features here is the built-in Turbo Tone circuit. Engaged via the push/push master volume control, it boosts your signal to deliver a thicker, more driven response without needing external pedals. It's ideal for switching between rhythm and lead parts on the fly, or for pushing your amp harder when you need extra presence. This added versatility makes the guitar brilliantly adaptable across different genres, from clean pop and funk to crunch and saturated tones.
Fast, adaptable neck feel
The modern C-shaped maple neck is paired with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard, giving you the best of both worlds. Lower down the neck, the 9.5-inch radius feels comfortable for chords and rhythm playing, while the flatter 14-inch radius higher up allows for smoother bends and faster lead work. Medium jumbo frets add to the easy playability, giving you a confident feel under your fingers whether you're digging in or playing with a lighter touch.
Reliable hardware for consistent performance
This Telecaster is built to stay stable and dependable in real-world playing situations. The string-through-body hardtail bridge with chromed brass saddles provides solid sustain and tuning consistency, while deluxe locking tuners make restringing quick and efficient. A 5-bolt neck plate adds extra stability, and the overall construction reflects Fender Japan's reputation for precision. It's a guitar you can rely on for rehearsals, recording sessions, and live shows alike.
