The \"TL69\" refers to the 1969 reissue style, while \"115\" originally indicated its price in Japanese Yen (115,000 Yen). This was the top-tier version of the model available at the time. Early Japanese Fender \"A-prefix\" serial numbers are highly sought after by collectors. Unlike the extremely heavy solid-rosewood originals, the TL69-115 features a chambered construction with a thin maple \"sandwich\" layer between rosewood sections to reduce weight while maintaining the iconic look. These early reissues are often considered superior to contemporary US versions due to the high quality of rosewood available to the Fujigen factory in the 1980s, paired with USA-made vintage-style pickups and electronics. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
