FS Strat and Tele partscasters - tele now sold

TheOtherDennis

For sale, two partscasters that I simply never play.

First up isn't really a partscaster, tbh. It's a Vintage V6 Strat which originally came in red. I stripped the paint off and repainted it blue, and changed the white guard for a tortoiseshell one and that's it. Otherwise, the original poplar body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and Wilkinson pups are intact.

I did it for a Clarksonesque challenge a few years ago.

As you can see, I'm no Neil Morgan or Jooky and the paintwork leaves quite a bit to be desired. It's not smooth, there are a good few imperfections, pretty much right around the body.

However the structure of the guitar is sound and the only real damage is to the top of the head that you can see in the pics.

There's nothing wrong with it electrically in any way and it plays fine. Nice neck, nice action, possibly needs adjusting to taste.

It would make a great start for a beginner's project, or even just a decent paint job.

I'm looking for £50.

Sorry, the tele has now gone.

The strat is pick up only, but I'll happily meet you roughly half way at a motorway service station or some such.

And I'd rather not break it up in to its component parts as I don't want to add to the pile of unused guitar parts in my garage.

Thanks for looking.

Both guitars are pick up only, but I'll happily meet you roughly half way at a motorway service station or some such.

Could you name a few service stations that you would be willing to drive to, maybe we could triangulate your location?

is postage defo not an option? don't mind if you take the neck off to protect it all.

TheOtherDennis

@streethawk - I live in Lutterworth, which is on J20 of the M1 and 3 miles from J1 of the M6, only 5 from the A14 east to the A1. How far do you want me to go?

@thomasw88 - I don't actually have anything I can post them in, to be honest. I'd have to buy/otherwise acquire enough packaging to do it with, which would make it pretty pointless financially. I've got more than enough bubblewrap from previous smaller purchases, but no boxes big enough for a guitar body. Sorry.

Hmm I'm quite near you 

Might be interested in the Tele

Interested in trades?

I've got a couple of pedals you might be interested in?

TheOtherDennis

Tbh not really. I bought a bass in a drunken stupor off the evil that is bay on Friday night, and I have to fund it (we've reached the one-in-one-out policy limit in our house), so I thought if anything has to go, it might as well be two I never play.

Sorry.

monquixote

No worries

It's a slightly easier sell with the wife if I trade something when I get something

I was thinking a Mooer Chorus + £30 for the Tele, if not I might have to do a wife based charm offensive

IanSavage

Likely to be Birmingham-way / along the M6 anytime soon Dennis? Kinda tempted by the Strat...

TheOtherDennis

Could well be, Ian. Are you flush again?

benmurray85

Both of those are a fucking steal! If I had any cash I'd take them both off you. Those vintage v6 strats are superb. I gigged one for years. Good luck with the sale!

Not in the slightest, but I fancy a matt-black guitar project to go with all the matt-black motorbike spraying I'm doing at the minute

TheOtherDennis

Ok, if you're sure. In which case I'll happily meet at the Corley services (them's the ones between Junction 3 and 2) and if you want, I'll try to find the original white pickguard to go with your matt black paint job (unless you want a black one, in which case I don't got one).

IanSavage

Ooh, that'd be good if you've got it - not sure which would look better! I think I'm free most afternoons this week after about half four, or could pop over at the weekend...

TheOtherDennis

Sorry, mate, can't find it. :-/ I'll send it on if it turns up, but it's not where I expected it to be, which is a bit baffling, as I know I've not used or sold it (I have, however, moved house since, though). #-o

I could do Thursday, if that's any good to you.

monofin

If you manage to find a box to fit the tele I'll have it - happy for the neck to be off as I'd use it for parts anyway.

TheOtherDennis

Sorry, monofin, but monquixote has bought the tele, so that's off the market now.

monofin

No worries

IanSavage

Thursday would do me mate, what kinda time?

TheOtherDennis

Would you mind doing it in the evening, after tea-time? I dunno, about half 7ish? That would enable you to avoid the rush hour on the M6, if that's ok.

IanSavage

Half seven suits me mate, I'll PM you with my mobile number. North or southbound side?

TheOtherDennis

Let's say south, if you don't mind. See you tonight then.
