Made in Japan by the Kiso Suzuki factory in the late 60's and early 70's. Telecaster-style shape with two jangly single coil pickups controlled by master volume/tone controls and independent on/off switches. Rounded neck profile with a 42mm nut width and 628mm scale length, it intonates pretty well for a bar-style bridge and weighs 2.7kg's.
Received a full teardown and rebuild before being serviced and restrung, the frets are clean and smooth and the truss works perfectly with a straight neck. Most of the screws have been replaced with modern ones to avoid seizing otherwise it seems close to all original.
