Fresher FT-450 c. 1981 

This is a fantastic example of a late Chushin Gakki made Fresher FT-450. Fresher guitars are a Kyowa Shokai brand and started out as budget instruments in the early 1970's. By the time 1980 came around the guitars were of a much higher quality. The '4th Generation' logo on this one evidences its origin and date. 

The body is made from Japanese (Sen) Ash and looks stunning in a natural finish. Who doesn't love a natural blackguard Tele, after all. Maple neck & fretboard finish off the classic look. 
It's in incredible condition for a 40 year old instrument and plays & sounds as good as it looks, all at a great price for a true Japanese vintage T-type. 

The original owner has marked 'No 3' on the back. I haven't tried to remove this, as it's a part of the guitars' history. The seller when I bought it had 2 Aria Pro II T-types for sale marked No 1 and No 2 as well. One of them came through my hands and is now in Canada. To my eyes and ears, this was the better of the two!
