Japan Vintage A Serial This is a rare serial number, produced around the same time as JV and E serials. I bought it a few years ago at a used guitar shop for 160,000 yen. It's a Fender Telecaster. Both E and A serials are said to have a very small number of plate serials, and this is the type with the serial number engraved on the neck plate, believed to have been produced in early 1985. I really wanted an '85 model, so I bought it, but I'm selling it reluctantly due to equipment consolidation and lack of funds. Thank you.
