With shipping to Australia just under a $1000 USD (1450 Aussie Dollars)
got it for 92000JPY which is about $810 USD
Not cheap but wasn't expensive neither considering
A. a i cant find any lefty Fender MIJ Thin lines and
B. a righty squire thin line over here sells for around $900 AUD

That site reminds me of when I was in Tokyo, I made a trip to Ishibashi.
The prices on vintage stuff in Japan was really reasonable, on average about $300 or so cheaper than you could get stuff here in the US, at the time.
I almost bought a 79 Anniversary Strat, but I resisted.
I did however buy an old Maxon D & S II pedal, just to say I bought something from Ishibashi.
Oh, and I got a handful of picks!
Plus it was fun saying "Ishibashi" all day, lol.

Ok… I’m putting this on my 2022 to-do list. Gonna build a proper Thinline with a WR neck pickup.

That’s a contender. Or maybe green. I’m partial to green.

don't need it but got one of these incoming from Japan, but what the hey it Xmas will post real pics when she arrives most likely will repaint it in some fender pastel maybe Daphne or sea foam (why because i can) I love it as is - but if you want to paint it, that's cool. Either way, it's a tempting excuse to have yet another "Tele" for us lefties...my favorite configuration: single coil at bridge, humbucker at neck. |
