Edit: Now for sale £850 posted
SOLD PENDING PAYMENT.

So I picked this up just over a week ago.

Its a 42nd street Broadway 6 Tele.

It’s everything you would expect a good telecaster to be. It’s very resonant with tons of sustain and so punchy. I could literally play any style with it which is the beauty of a good tele.

Its got a vintage radius which I thought might be an issue but it’s been absolutely fine. It’s incredibly easy to play and thanks to a good setup it doesn’t choke out on anything but extreme bends (which I never do)

It’s up there in the upper echelons of guitars I’ve had pass through my hands. 

Anyway here is the full spec:

That’s really nice, congratulations. Angela refinished my strat’s body and it’s great, hope to give one of these a try some day

I need something like this as I'm missing a single coil guitar and want UK made. LPB is my favourite - Congrats!

Did it sell on here? Wondering if Mr Protone lurks around these parts.

I bought it on here and sold it locally for a little less than I paid for it. The guy I sold it to must have done a deal with Protone!

Yeah I guess so. I chuckled to myself when I seen the price protone were asking. I paid much less than that when I bought it 2nd hand from RichTone music.

Hey.  Old thread but thought i would give an update.  This is now mine after i brought it off the guy who brought it from Protone  i paid not much more than what Richtone was asking. I cannot believe how many hands this has been through since Vintage and Rare in Bath originally had it for sale for £1350 new two years ago. Ih an amazing guitar.. I've owned many Fender custom shops and this up there with the best, despite being a UK version of a Nash.
How come you all sold it? Nice to follow the history of a great guitar!
