Yes, that transparent red from circa 1979-1980 was called "wine red". I have a '79 Lead II in that same color - but the version of finish used on the Leads was a bit darker, and it also was prone to cracking, turning milky, and falling off unlike the "redder" version of the finish used on Teles and Strats.

JohnC nailed it and that is a nice all original 78 Tele! You got to love the upper bout cut, makes those late 70's teles just about impossible not to ID!
