[sold] 42nd Street R-Cab, UK-made Tele/Ricky mashup, bargain £850

Wonderful guitar, this. I snapped it up from @chris78 last year but it's not getting used and I've just bought two naughty amps. 

Here's the original listing - nothing's changed: www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/123394/

Basically a Tele Cabronita but heading in the Rickenbacker direction instead of Gretsch, with Creamery toaster-top pickups. Bags of twangy clarity. 

I think it's worth more than £900 really, but there you go... collection from London SW16, or UK shipping to be arranged by buyer.

I've never heard of these, but I actually thinks it's great - Have a wow

I hate Teles, but I love Rics.

I can vouch that this is a cracker. These are sold in Vintage and Rare in Bath and made in the UK.
Tempted to buy it back if it doesn’t sell quickly 

Teyeplayer

Wow duly awarded, that is so cool! Really don’t know how I missed this back when I still had the funds.
Glwts.

Possibly stupid question, but does this do the Ricky jangle as well as the tele twang? I know this is a bit subjective, just very intrigued.

dickieguitar

@Teyeplayer it's a good question but impossible to answer! I have a Tele and a Ricky 360 (with Hi-Gains) and it sounds different to both of them. It has a very hi-fi kind of chime. Not as jangly as the Rick, I suppose. 

Teyeplayer

Cheers @dickieguitar sounds a cool midway. You have officially just ended my gas free period!

Teyeplayer

Should add, I’m gutted that I have no funds left and nothing really to sell to fund it or trade. Hopefully all this free bumping will help find you a buyer!

dickieguitar

C'mon now, someone. Sounds as pretty as it looks. 

dickieguitar

Boutique bargain bump.

dickieguitar

Man, this really shouldn't need a price drop... £850 firm?

I'm very tempted to blow my student loan on this and starve to death until the winter installment comes in...

dickieguitar

That sounds like sound student thinking, @YellowLedBetterMan .

dickieguitar

OK, I've got a box to pack this in so now open to UK-wide buyers. Loss/damage/insurance etc is on you but it will be well packed. 

dickieguitar

Oh, and I'm up for part-ex with pedals etc to make up the difference.
