Withdrawn - Fender Vintera 70s Custom Tele
What's Hot
After a few week of trying to sell and trade my into a little free cash, I have a few guitars from trades that just didn't quite get across the line and an Eastman that has to be added because I wimped out on selling the AC10. I might still have to add an Orange Tremlord and a Rivolta Mondata Baritone and maybe, just maybe my Danplifier Paisley Champ(ish). All of those are with our lovely Uncle Marlin at the mo, so I'd need to get them back before I can photograph them properly. But heads up.....
Sold
Brad Paisley Esquire. £750
Not much to say about this that you don't already know. I love it but I love my SC Relics Paisley Thineline just that little more.
Has it's Fender bag too
Comments
Bought revcently after being really really impressed with the Mondata baritone. I was fairly skeptical about the whole Rivolta brand for a while, I know that Denis Fano's reputation speaks very loudly but they are still made by Eastwood and their reputation, when it comes to quality, is not always so hot. But seeing the retailers that have chosen to stock them did suggest they are a top level product. And you know what? They really are.
It's a great guitar and (hopefully) without stirring up a debate, the Eastmans come stock with all the sorts of things that people upgrade on the brands that have established themselves to have an authentic reputation.
And just to whet a few whistles, don't take my word for it. Listen to a familiar face play one.

The Eastman stayed with me over Xmas. Beautiful guitar, with rude 90’s. Gooses a valve amp beautifully. Eastman make fabulous guitars.
So moving along, here's a little taste of what the Rivolta can do. Those mini hums produce some of the biggest and best HB sounds I've played but don't take my work for it, have a listen to this. Bloooooooze and then so much more.

I’m sure the first person to play it will fall in love.
Have a worthy bump...
I know they aren't designed as a shredder's guitar, but the neck & fretboard look to be set unusually deep into the body to me.
This is potentially the only thing putting me off as I've never tried one first hand.
For the record, @dazzajl is a gent to deal with.
