Second Hand 1993/94 Levinson Blade Texas Standard (TE-2) 'Pre-Lawsuit Headstock' (MIJ)  3-Tone Sunburst

No Case or Whammy bar

Check out this RARE PRE-LAWSUIT MIJ TIME CAPSULE: 1993 Levinson Blade Texas Standard in immaculate 3-Tone Sunburst.

Up for grabs is an exceptional, beautifully preserved piece of boutique guitar history.
a highly sought-after, pre-lawsuit era Levinson Blade Texas Standard (Model TE-2).

Boasting the serial number 129218, this transitional gem was crafted in Japan right before Blade permanently altered their headstocks to comply with US import regulations—giving you the gorgeous, traditional Fender-style lines paired with world-class Japanese fretwork and building standards.

Finished in a striking, deep 3-Tone Sunburst over an alder body, this guitar balances flawless vintage aesthetics with modern performance. The mint-green pickguard and aged cream plastics have aged gracefully, while the mirror-like chrome hardware shows almost zero pitting or oxidization—an absolute rarity for an instrument crossing its 30-year milestone.

Don't let the classic S-style looks fool you; under the hood, Gary Levinson's Variable Spectrum Control (VSC) active preamp system completely redefines versatility. Complete with its original backplate and trim-pot paths intact, a simple flick of the mini-toggle lets you jump from crystalline, bell-like vintage Strat chime to a thick, mid-boosted humbucker-esque punch for leads. Premium features like a high-stability FT-3 tremolo bridge, staggered Gotoh tuners, and a silky-smooth rosewood fretboard make this a high-performance machine built for the stage and studio.
Skip the modern assembly lines and experience the precision-engineered Swiss design and legendary Japanese craftsmanship that made Fender take serious notice in the early '90s.
