Look how the pickup is smack up against the neck. That's odd

Those interested in bidding may want to know that ¥268,000 is not quite $2,670.

Although I would not be interested in playing it, it has a certain appeal to it.

This sort of thing usually has me reaching for the sick bag. And yet somehow this one isn't totally turning me off. I like the cream binding against the red, and the skinny body edges are interesting. It's all so wrong - and yet...

Be clear, I don't want it.

But I'd be curious to know more about it. I wonder what the model is called?

I've done some digging on this model, and it is actually a Fender Japan Takeshi "Terry" Terauchi Signature Model. 'Terry' is a guitarist, who was in the Japanese surf music scene in the 60's & 70s.

Quote:
Takeshi Terauchi, also known as Terry, is a Japanese instrumental rock guitarist. His preferred guitar is a White Mosrite. His guitar sound is characterized by frenetic picking, heavy use of vibrato and frequent use of his guitars tremolo arm.


I guess this is what happens when you intermingle a Tele, Strat and a Mosrite. As you can see the familiarities between the said Fender model and a Mosrite which where the above guitar draws its inspiration. Image

Anyone who like surf music will dig this clip. Note the Fender model sitting on a stand behind Terry (middle):

I guess this guitar has caught everyone unawares that there are indeed Fender models that we dont even know about. Even today, the Japanese market is a goldmine for unusual and hard to find custom guitars, even Fender Customshop. I've come to find that even the signature line of guitars is not just limited to artists in the USA and UK, in fact there are sometimes bigger markets overseas for them. Who knows what's in China? We learn something new everyday :wink:

What this forum needs is a thread dedicated to ugly guitars
