Sold: Fender AVRI II 1961 Fiesta Red

NCo · January 19

Excellent condition with an absolutely insane chocolate board.

Bought here on the forum a couple on months back, it's my dream guitar in appearance but the vintage spec isn't for me. Beautiful fiesta red, dark board and clay dots.

Weighs 3.5KG on both of my scales, which is 7lbs 11 oz, and came with scratches on pickguard and a few very shallow surface scratches. Played by me for no more than a couple of hours. Here is the link to the previous listing with all the photos:

I added 3 more slight scratches to the back, I tried to capture them here:

Paid £1650, and the guitar has just been professionally setup and restrung, so £1600 collected from SE London. Can post at cost, please contact me.

This was my guitar and it is superb!
vintage specs are not for everyone I know,
I am surprised to see that your weight figures indicate approx 200g difference , I suppose it’s my scales..,which is good to know, did you use precision scales if you don’t mind me asking?
anyway, killer guitar here if you like what you see!

Bump.

Bump with a few new images: The neck pocket and heel were photographed by John Procter who performed the setup.

Would appreciate it if anyone could help me embed the picture of the guitar from the link, it's too pretty to hide behind a link!
