Aria Telecaster 1976 - Natural

Aria Pro II 'Backaroo' 1976 - These 70s Aria takes on Fender's classic range of guitars were so accurate and well made that they were part of a 'cease and desist' suit from Fender.

• Made in the Matsumoku factory, Japan
• Maxon humbuckers - These have a considerable reputation and for good reason
• Ash body
• Maple neck/board
• Quality tuners which hold their tuning
• Slim playable neck

This guitar is 50 years old, so plenty of wear and tear, tarnished hardware etc. There are some rough edges and the pickup selector is a bit temperamental but all positions work, it probably needs a clean. If you are after a museum piece this isn't for you. There is fret wear but it is still very playable and a fret dress would do the job in my opinion. I've priced this for the wear and tear, mint ones go for around £800

I'M ALSO LISTING IT ON A WELL KNOWN AUCTION SITE THIS EVENING (19TH/06) FOR 3 DAYS SO IT MAY WELL DISAPPEAR VERY QUICKLY.
