Sibling
to the 1413, here's
the 1407. With its blander looks and lesser spec'd hardware, it wasn't
quite as popular as its sunburst sister.
I think it actually adheres to the Tele™ 'philosophy' more closely... but that's just

The 1407 was a Japanese-made clone (sorta) of the
famous Fender Telecaster™. Teisco-made (maybe Univox), it differed from the more
popular (judging by the availability on the auction market) 1413 in that it was a single pickup model, and maybe the ivory color
just wasn't 'flashy' enough to make it as popular a guitar.
A rare axe, as the sparseness of our photo gallery indicates.
Introduced:
