Picked up a second hand Tele today from GB Music in Bognor Regis. It’s 2016 MIM Std in 3TSB and is absolutely unmarked. No fret wear and, from the fact that the bridge saddles are in a perfectly straight line, I suspect never played (still had one of the original Fender tags hanging off the neck). Bearing in mind that this is pretty much bottom of the Fender range I can’t believe how light and how resonant it is. I bought it as a modding platform to convert it into an Esquire-alike and am well pleased.

As an aside GB Music is a proper instrument shop rather than a box-shifting operation. Has a number of Tokai’s, Gordon Smiths, etc. Sadly, their website is a bit of a mess (I believe they’re in the process of revamping it) but the shop itself is a treasure. I could have spent a deal of money there.
I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

Are you going to change to a 3 saddle bridge?
Kind of a shame that the holes aren't evenly spaced, I'd prefer that
You won't regret that choice!
