As I've said before on many occasions, this is truly one of the very best guitars I've ever had in my hands. Never thought I'd let this one go, but a custom build is taking all my spare cash and then some for a while.

Lightweight Alder body which is incredibly loud and resonant acoustically. Medium U-shaped neck which is extremely comfortable - full but not Nocaster-sized, it really reminds me a lot of an old '68 Tele I used to have. Actually, K-Line guitars feel more like genuine old Fenders to me than any modern relics. This one also saw off several Andersons, Suhrs and Fender Custom Shop guitars I previously owned. These guitars are genuinely Masterbuilt quality.

10" radius, medium jumbo Jescar frets set in a beautiful dark rosewood fretboard. Chris Kroelein's fretwork and neck shaping is legendary, and really what he's built his reputation on.

Pickups are my favourite P90s, Klein Epic 57s. They are clear, rich and lively. The bridge is Hipshot's Tele bridge that Chris chose after trying pretty much everything out there. The guitar has fantastic sustain and I'm sure the bridge helps!

The finish is a beautiful Sonic Blue nitro - again, Chris' finishes are renowned. It has his light relic finish, which is REALLY subtle! Just some light tarnishing and a few wee chips here and there.

Comes with original deluxe G+G case.

I've sold a few really nice guitars over the last few years but this one's going to sting a bit. I'd like to sell it within the community here if possible with the vague notion it might come back this way in future.

New cost is around £2599. I'm looking for £1350.

I find this guitar hard to photograph accurately (I can never get the colour dead on) but I'll try a few later. In the meantime...

Lovely looking thing! Not a cat in hell's chance of me affording it, but GLWTS!

I'm trying to think of recent tracks where I know for sure this guitar was used for all the guitar parts, and so far off the top of my head I can think of these two:

Top seller and no doubt a top guitar if Stu picked it! I've got one and the K-Line medium U neck (and the finish on the neck) is pretty special
