A TE-500BR Thinline model handcrafted in 1976.

The history of Fender Thinline started from 1968.  Roger Rossmeisl, a German luthier who had produced many guitars at Rickenbacker, designed Thinline. Fender started selling this type, with so-called wide-range humbuckers from 1972.

On guitar auction, we can see natural colored ones frequently, but this color is relatively rare. Greco described this color BR(bronze) in 1977 catalogue. It has much dents and scratches but we can see beautiful texture of sen(Japanese ash) by translucent finish.

It equips Schaller type MH803 tuners and PU-113 pickups. Pods and switch knobs aren’t original. 3.31kg(includes strings). (Updated 2016.8.24)
