Obviously, no more of these will be made!

This was arguably my best guitar , of the 50 or so that I've owned. It's been replaced with a super spendy Dale Wilson that is just different and equally good, rather than better.

Pictures can be taken and posted if anyone's interested.

You need to post pictures, not cuz it’s the rules, cuz I really wanna see this tele!

The floor traveller says Sanko 6105, I can check when I'm home later.

@adampeter ;

Just measured the frets:
0.094” which I believe make these Sanko 6150s, 0.0945”x0.051”, slightly shallower than a standard 6150 (0.055”) and my personal favourite. 

Also, the neck has a slight compound, from 7.25” to slightly less than 9.5”

Wow! As far as Blackguards go, that's special!

In response to some messages:
Neck thickness is 0.79" 1st fret, 0.95" 12th fret, nearer to a C than a soft V
