Not much information on these but I have one and I love it. It's a Japanese copy of a Fender Telecaster thinline, making it a post-1968 guitar. These were called "Finger Talkers" a thinly veiled reference to the "F" and "T" in FENDER TELECASTER. Probably introduced in 1972. Mine has a poplar, laminated body, a bolt-on mahogany neck with a thick maple fingerboard, plastic-ish nut, steel string trees, medium frets, gotoh tuners and a pair of identical 6.3K ohm staggered-pole single coils. The original paint was a nice cream color. Cheap stamped steel bridge with ashtray cover, cream/black/cream pick guard, three-way LP style selector, one vol and one tone. I don't have any idea how long they were produced. The headstock on mine is a near dead copy of a Fender Tele, with NATIONAL painted in black. All in all, these are cheaply made instruments that sound wonderful if a vintage tone is what you're after. They play like a dream and are surprisingly durable. Here's an article referencing the FT 440-2:
