🎸🔥 Just In: Ultra Rare Fender Terry-1 Guitar! 🔥🎸

We are beyond stoked to have this gem land in our Brunswick East store! The Fender Terry-1, a signature model of Japanese surf rock legend Takeshi Terauchi, is here, and it’s as rare as it gets! 🇯🇵

Known for his wild, reverb-drenched licks and unmistakable sound, Terauchi left an indelible mark on music—and this guitar captures it all. From the unique offset body to the vintage Fender tones, this guitar will transport you to a different era, where surf met shred. 🏄‍♂️⚡

✨ Specs:

Beautifully aged Terry Pink finish 🌞
Custom tremolo arm perfect for that classic surf twang 🌊
Super smooth rosewood fretboard with pearl “Terry” inlays 🪵
Incredibly limited, especially outside Japan! 🗺️

This is more than just a guitar—it’s a cultural icon. Come in and give it a strum before it’s gone!
