@guitars4you sorry Mark. 
I'm on holiday, so won't be able to make it. 
If @CasperCaster makes it, get him to take some pics of the Tele. I'd love to see how it turned out.

Enjoy the break and see you soon - Probably Haydock in May I dare say

CasperCaster

@guitars4you I'll probably head over as it's not to far from me, and I'm a sucker for a bacon butty and coffee - oh and guitars too of course!

How did this go today?. I 'nearly' made it myself. First Sunday I've had to myself in ages, or so I thought. Was planning on driving down and saying hello, but things never went to plan. Hope you all had a good day.

I was there around mid-day - much busier than it has been in the last couple of years. The usual mix of junk and good stuff - though notable bargains were scarce. In fact prices seemed higher than at any recent show I’ve been to.

and probably the worse example many of us have seen of a vintage refin for many a while

I had a good day sales wise and many others said the same - Small show but busy - recent coffee + butty so a good start anyway

Haha yes, just a bit!  And yet I still had a conversation with myself about making an offer for it.

Getting it for a good price and sorting another refinish I would be ok with, but the fact that somebody had decided to shave the neck of a 62 Jazzmaster killed it outright for me.

Agree about a re refin - I did not play it but 2/3 others mentioned about a shaved neck - I did not know the asking price

It was £1850, which is why I stood there for about 15 minutes thinking...and thinking.

But then reading the tag, non-original pickups, non-original case, (not very good) refinish.  All fair enough for a 62 Jazzmaster around that price range.  But the neck shave was unforgivable!

Never mind, a talking point if nothing else.

Hiya. 

First post btw.

RustySpanner

Err, that didn't go very well, did it?

A quick post to say thank you to a couple of people. 

Firstly to Mark from Guitars 4You. 
It was my wife who bought the Pink Paisley Telecaster, her first electric guitar. It's a lovely instrument and set up very nicely indeed. Sue can't put it down, always a good sign!

Secondly to Dixie. 
I bought probably the cheapest guitar at the show, a battle scarred Vintage VS6 which plays much nicer than a £90.00 guitar has any right to.

Thirdly Jason. 
Thanks for the encouragement, sorry I was a little distracted but the reality of my wife buying herself the above Tele had just hit me! 

Finally, Ken(?) the organiser.
Really enjoyed the show, a very pleasant and productive day out, great to meet you.

Cheers all!
