For this???!

Scores a 'tele' and then runs out of tele bridge pickups.

Quite ironic really.

£50 absolute tops and I'm probably being generous.

Yup - 'tis a plywood horror at best.

There was a UK guitar shop trying to sell a ply bolt-on Ibanez LP on eBay not so long back for over £700...  :-O

yeah, but less issues than previous stuff.   it does actually look like a working guitar

the nuts are getting better, the odd mix of random parts is still a bit off putting

The last Columbus Tele of this ilk sold for £70 on eBay (which I was surprised at).

WezV

Yeah. It is definitely overpriced.

I wonder what his 'other' pair of spectacles are for...?

He doesn't actually say he replaced the nut; probably why it looks better than usual! Actually all he says he's done is change one pickup, swap out the tuners and done a set up. So a cheap, damaged guitar with some changed out bits. For £227. Hmmm.

What's the fuss about?

I'm not keen on it & don't think its worth the money he wants for it… So I'm not going to bid on it. Simples.

Here we go again...... Do I get the popcorn or pitchfork?

Goddammit. I had one of those when I was 12...quite a nice guitar, actually.

I've had this discussion recently with some very rich people and a couple of life coaches.

This guy will most likely make it than most people I know and the simple reason is he doesn't listen to criticism or self-criticism, he'll take advice - and he did from here - he only left because he rightly spotted people wanted to give him grief.

I fully believe that this guy will make something original from his guitar builds eventually... and his critics will be left reminiscing about when he started and they bullied him I mean .. gave him the advice that helped him get on his way.

if it was £27 would you be more inclined to bid on it then then??

He'll be encouraged by the number of views his auction gets no doubt.

I admire the guys persistence. It show he has self belief and confidence. If I could can what he has, I myself might progress a bit further in the next year !
