Sold: Kauffmann ‘56 T telecaster (£860) and Fender 50s Road Worn Telecaster (£650)

CFH · July 2022

My GAS for another Rickenbacker is overwhelming, so it’s last in first out with this one.

It’s a terrific guitar though. Super light weight (6.45 lbs) chambered swamp ash body, all hand built to a relic blackguard vibe. The neck is a joy, super smooth on the back with a good chunky c shaped profile and medium jumbo sized frets. 9.5 inch radius too means that bends are effortless. I’ll be sad to see this go, but my Ricky 360 was the only guitar I’ve properly regretted selling, so I’m on the lookout for another 360 or a 330.

Here’s Kauffmans original ad:

I’m looking for £860 which is a bit of a bargain for a very very nice hand built guitar. Collection in Leeds preferred but I am happy to post this one. It comes in a particularly plush gig bag, very similar to a Mono

Also selling my 50’s Road Worn Telecaster. Great guitar, nice chunky 50s profile neck, lovely thin finish (the nitro is checking very nicely) and it’s a good weight at 7.2lbs.

It’s an earlier 2011 model which I think are a bit more sought after. I’m looking for £650 for this one.
