Made in Japan by the Matsumoku factory in 1974, the TE-500 was Greco's Thinline Telecaster Deluxe model. The original catalog lists these as featuring a semi-hollow white-ash body with a maple neck and a 21 fret maple fingerboard (42mm nut width, 628mm scale length), it weighs 3.4kg's. This one appears all original as pictured with a pair of Maxon wide-range humbuckers and chrome plated hardware.
Overall it's in very good vintage condition with basic signs of wear from general use. The finish is clear and shiny with a few cosmetic blemishes, the neck is straight with a functional truss and the frets appear original but are shiny and play smoothly.
