1972 Telecaster Thinline Japanese copy model Aria Pro II TE-500N BACKAROO. Based on the serial number, it is believed to be made in 1976 (Matsumoku), and is a model from the era that is attracting attention in the Japanese vintage guitar scene. It's a copy model of the '72 Thinline, but the neck is a medium scale, which I think is ideal and makes for an easy-to-handle guitar. Being a 1976 model, it has aged nicely like the original, and has a cool tone and feel. The neck also has a nice tiger stripe pattern, so please check the photos. Unfortunately, I've had fewer opportunities to play it, so I'm selling it to organize my equipment. I hope someone who will cherish it will consider purchasing it. However, as it is a nearly 50-year-old instrument, please consider this with the understanding that it is a vintage item. The knobs have been replaced, but I will include the original ones. It will be shipped in a dedicated hard case and packed in a cardboard box. Please consider the price including shipping. Thank you. *Also listed on other sites.
