Not to be confounded with US-made tele-goodwill ...

Where’s the truss rod?

This is that model from sweetwater.
This one from goodwill. The goodwill neck looks like a higher quality wood, which doesn't really mean much. Maybe it is a faked custom shop job with that serial number.

Yep. I tried looking it up before I posted it, but in was in maintenance then too. Now that I look at that rear slider, it does look like it was cut with scissors or something. I'll do better before posting those the next time.

If you like to collect fossils, there's a Japanese "Strad-O-Lin" semi-hollow guitar at Good Will now:

Opinions seem to vary widely on whether these are any good or not.
Here's one that was sold on Reverb -- Matsumoku 60’s Strad-O-Lin ES-335 copy

It went for $908. Maybe someone knew something more than we did. Or not. We'll likely never know.

I think you are right. I keep forgetting the custom shop slider has that chevron deal in it.
