For Sale: James Collins No.4 Telecaster

in Guitars £

For sale is my James Collins No.4 Telecaster, handmade in the UK in 2013. No trades, open to offers.

I'm looking for £900. This was price over £2000 for the original customer.

It's had a few changes and upgrades from when it was first commissioned several owners ago, so the specs are now as follows.

1 Piece Brazilian Mahogany Body (75+ years old)
AAA Flame Maple neck
25.5in scale
Rosewood Fretboard
Bone Nut
MOP Inlays (MH being the initials of Original owner at a guess)
Gotoh Bridge
Schaller M6 Locking Tuners
BKP Ceramic Warpig set
CTS pot (used to be Vol/Tone, now just Vol)
Schaller Straplocks

The Gecko/Lizard/Tribal Charmander was commissioned by the original owner, and is only a sticker. I kept it on because I love lizards, can be easily removed if wanted. Has a few knocks, and scratches, which are all pictured, including one on the treble side of the fretboard.

Brilliant guitar, definitely not light.


Based in Oldbury, West Midlands.

Collection preferred but can be posted at buyers expense.

Thank you!

    I wouldn't say it's a Les Paul weight, but I can get the weight if you're interested?

    I played that guitar years ago when the original owner had it commissioned.
    I seem to recall it absolutely sings
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    It really does, it's a shame it hardly gets played anymore.
