Saw it's being sold by a buy and sell retail shop - seems cheap? Although I'm slightly confused as to whether it is a Custom Shop Fender, or more of a Custom Shop influenced but not fully fledged model? No certificate?

Great colour, that's for certain.

Looks like a dodgy second hand dealer with something they don't know that much about.

looks all kosher to me and a good price as well - candy tangerine - goods marks @smnmy for finding that in the spec sheet etc

Well it went very quickly, so clearly someone thought it was a good deal.

It would've come with a COA that isn't present though from the factory?

Tangerine is a great colour, but personally I can't get behind Telecasters with modern appointments like 6 saddle bridges and locking tuners.

And of course it's back, now asking £1899.

One of the nicest guitars the new seller has ever owned, apparently. Eff right off. No doubt it's a real wrench to part with it so soon…

Am I the only one driven nuts by this stuff? It's not so much the shameless flipping as the BS.

I'd have no problem with a listing that read: 'I got this for a good price and I've never played it and I'm hoping to turn a profit.'

Edited..........Hadn't read the OP properly.
My mistake.

It's on a few Facebook selling pages too.

I've just asked the current owner how long he has owned it on one of those pages.
Will be interesting to see if he tells the truth (or a version of it) or outright lies.

Edit: responded with ' Im not the original owner ... - picked it up quite recently'.
LOL. No shit.

Ya, I saw it on the facebook group where he said it's one of the nicest guitars he's ever owned, and felt like commenting "then why are you selling it after a week?".

I don't think he'll sell it at that price though, not without a COA - and collection only.
