WTB - 60s Strat or Tele - Player Grade
What's Hot
Long shot I know - pretty much sold all my guitars and looking for a nice player grade strat, tele or esquire.
I stupidly sold my seriously legit refin 63 strat a couple of years ago and someone who will remain nameless sold it for parts a month later on reverb.
Happy to look at battered refins or near original. Early to late sixties.
Not looking for ones in shops that have been bought off gumtree or eBay a week earlier, as I've seen recently.
Cheers all.

I do struggle with shops.
Quote - The body was stripped where it became evident there were no extra routes
Er, but it has got two filled holes in the scratchplate for microswitches. But it has not got any extra routes under the new refin they've given it?
I actually think I saw that guitar for sale in Wales a few years ago pre refin.
I will give it some thought as it's not badly priced for a shop.
Because they can be bolted together.

There might be something there for you.
I mean it doesn't take away from how it plays/sounds or not and there's plenty of very famous partscasters through the years...but it is an awful lot of money just to have various pieces that are differing levels of old.
A 64 and 66 strat was on ebay two weeks ago.
Both original and bought from a London shop years back. Best offers - £12500 and 9k.
Was chatting with the seller.
30 mins later he says a vintage guitar retailer put in an offer and had also bought his ac30, without seeing them or asking questions.
Appreciate the added value of knowing that the dealer has looked over them and can vouch that he now 'thinks' they're genuine - but I'd rather not pay the extra for the weeks journey from a private seller to the shop, and the photos being taken.
(I know! - he's paying vat on the profit he makes and has overheads).

Also don't want a partscaster from a dealer, when Im better off getting a partscaster privately.
Appreciate it's all about knowledge but I've seen plenty of dodgy bodies in dealers which are being shown as original..
