I’m going to die single with a house full of Japanese Guitars.

I went off today since it’s Black Friday in and my employer in Japan is an American company. What I didn’t expect was for the store here to have Black Friday since neither thanksgiving or Christmas are really a thing here. I get through my first 2 store wallet intact and decided to head to a store that I don’t frequent much.

I was there for more than 5 minutes before I spotted this. It’s a 2005. A few nicks on the edges, but otherwise great.

All nitro lacquer
Ash body
Duncan Antiquity TE pickups

These go for about $3300 (¥495000) new, so when I saw it on Black Friday sale for $1186 (¥178000) out the door, I asked for the case and briskly walked to the register :D

I got to say. It sounds so damn good, At neck feels great and the playability it fantastic.










 
That is one of the nicest trees I've ever seen

Tone nerd tele pickups when Scott? 😂
 
Beauty! Truss rod adjustment, tuners, saddles all old school like my 60s CS. Very nice. How big is the neck? Jumbo frets?
How does it sound compared to the other tele? Dig the Antiquities compared to the Lollars?

Both the neck and frets feel meaty. I’ve since pulled the lollars in my other tele in favor of my own winds, which are A5s, but I think I prefer A2s like the Aniquitys.
