1976 Aria Pro II Japan TE-400 “Backaroo” Telecaster (Blonde)

Made by the Matsumoku factory in 1976, the Backaroo was Aria Pro II’s solid body telecaster model. Wearing a transparent blond finish on an ash body bolted to a maple neck with a 21 fret maple fingerboard, it weighs 3.7kg’s. Loaded with a “Jack Jones” humbucker in the neck position and the original bridge single coil along with all the original hardware as pictured.Good overall vintage condition with some wear and tear from years of loving use, no breaks or repairs. The neck is straight with a functional truss and the frets are shiny and smooth with plenty of life. There’s some light sticker tan in spots but nothing overly notable.
