From the web:
The 1986 Fender Japan CTL-50R is a "Collector Series" '72 reissue Telecaster model manufactured at the renowned Fujigen factory. This model is part of the "E-Serial" era (roughly 1984–1987), a period often called the "Golden Era" of Fender Japan due to its high build quality that many players consider superior to American-made Fenders from the same time.

  • Model Inspiration: Designed as a '72 reissue-style Telecaster.
  • Body Material: Basswood
  • Neck: Maple neck with a comfortable "C" profile and a rosewood fingerboard.
  • Electronics: Equipped with two original Fender Japan single-coil pickups, a 3-way selector switch, and master volume and tone controls.
  • Hardware: Vintage-style 3-saddle bridge with string-through-body design and Gotoh tuning machines.

Good Enough
This doesn't fit precisely into place. You can see in the photo that the pleats just end with no frame on the sides to seal to the body of the housing. You can wiggle the end pleat into place but there's nothing holding it there so I don't know how long it will stay there. Not a big deal for me, but if you live on a dirt road, there could be enough air bypassing the filter that you may get a dusty car sooner. Price was fine, but I won't buy this filter again.
