Hi luis,
Buy it...buy it now
The all-rosewood model was only made for a few years and was worth 200,000yen in 1982 - 1984.
1 piece rosewood body, 1 peice rosewood neck, Duncan pickups, 'U' shape neck.
At that price, it is worth every penny.

This guitar was made about 80-81 year,so it could not to be a all rose.7okai logo.The salesman told me about ash? body.I have never seen an ash body breezysound,in catalogues neither.

Hi luis
The guitar sounds a bit "funny"
An ash body would have had a 1 piece maple neck/fb as were the original Broadcaster/ Nocaster/early Tele. To my recollection, NO ash bodies were matched to maple/rosewood necks - except for the TE-120 - which had a abalone binding around the body. Most ash bodys were used for the high-end early 50's models [ TE 80, TE-100, TE-120]
The TE-200 had a solid, 1 piece neck/fb fitted to a solid 1 piece body - all made from rosewood. This guitar is shown on the catalogs page, "early 80s" page 4,
Ask the salesguy for any pictures and see what it looks like.

Peter
