Description

Recommended player condition used item!
The TLV-R3 boasts an incredibly light weight of approximately 3.11kg! Its popular ash body boasts a versatile yet powerful tone and resonance, and features a rare Madagascar rosewood fingerboard. This stylish 2TS colorway is in excellent player condition and is available pre-owned! It features an F-type headstock and a two-piece ash center, both of which are hard to find new. Don't miss out!

This is a TLV made by VanZandt that will impress even vintage enthusiasts.
There are many dead copies of vintage guitars, but what sets Van Zandt apart is that it's designed with ease of use in mind, making it more than just a dead copy. With smooth fingerboard and fret edges and a slightly larger fingerboard radius than Fender, it's perfectly suited to modern playing styles, and most players will find it easy to play.

This is a very popular brand, with a sound that, in some ways, recreates the vintage sound that Japanese users imagine even better than the original, and excellent playability that matches the modern music scene! Many people who experience it once choose to buy another one, and it is also a brand with a very high number of repeat customers.

Due to recent circumstances, new guitars have had to have their headstocks changed, but this one has an F-style headstock. It is believed to have been made in 2008.

As mentioned above, the VanZandt TLV-R3 features an ash body and rosewood fingerboard. Unfortunately, due to the difficulty of obtaining high-quality, lightweight ash, the manufacturer has announced that future ash models will be constructed from a two-piece construction to a three-piece construction. However, this particular model features a two-piece ash center! Its lightweight design, weighing just 3.11kg, is also a welcome addition!

The TLV-R3 boasts a well-defined low end, allowing you to fully enjoy the tight sound of the ash wood. Furthermore, the flat-laid rosewood fingerboard tightens the overall sound, allowing each string to produce a clear, core-like tone. The TLV-R3's neck shape is comfortable to hold and has just the right thickness, making it a favorite among many Japanese players! This particular model also features a custom-made fingerboard radius of 14R (350R), which is flatter than the typical VanZandt fingerboard radius (210R). This model also boasts modern specifications for excellent playability!

Also, at this time, the use of Madagascar rosewood fingerboards, which are harder than regular rosewood, contributed to the crisp, clear sound. The rich oil content of Madagascar rosewood also ensures smooth fingering! The TLV-R2 currently features an Indian rosewood fingerboard.

And speaking of VanZandt, pickups!!
In the late '80s, when replacement pickups weren't that common, I remember that this pickup became a hot topic when it was discovered that Eric Johnson, the "prince of sound," was using one. Its tone, which clearly recreates the vintage sound that everyone imagines, became extremely popular!

The classic combination for Telecaster guitars ordered through authorized dealers is a VINTAGE N (TELE N) & B-55 selection, but this particular guitar has had the B-55 bridge replaced with a TRUE VINTAGE TELE Bridge Flat with flat pole pieces. (The B-55 bridge was worn out, so we disposed of it.) This is a guitar that will let you enjoy classic Tele tone!

VanZandt guitars made by PGM, a workshop famous for producing high-end domestic components such as MOON, are guitars that faithfully utilize the excellent tone of VanZandt pickups and remain extremely popular today!

This time, we have a recommended used player condition guitar in stock! It is estimated to be made in 2008.
Due to the thin lacquer coating, there are noticeable scratches, dents, and paint peeling all over the body, but this does not affect or affect playability.
There are some small scratches and dents, scratches on the pickguard from playing, scratches on the buckle, overall discoloration, and dull parts, but we have performed full maintenance and cleaning at our store, so this is an instrument in recommended condition that can be used immediately.

The frets have also been filed down. There are no problems with current use. There are about 85% remaining. The nut is also in good condition and there are no problems with normal adjustment of the truss rod.

We have also fully checked the electrical system and found no problems with operation. We have added a ground.
As mentioned above, the weight is approximately 3.11 kg. It is extremely light and well-balanced for easy use.

The only accessory included is a general-purpose gig case.

A passionate guitar that will pierce your heart! Don't miss out on this neo-vintage Telecaster-type guitar that produces the ultimate sound!
