***SOLD***:USA Revelator RetroSonic (Tele) double bound, Bigsby, light relic

bad_alice

Looking to sell my beautiful 2017 USA Dakota Red Revelator RetroSonic. It's a fabulous guitar of a quality that's ridiculous and, having had a quick glance online it appears these rarely turn up for sale secondhand and, from the looks of the only other one for sale on Reverb (it's in Japan) they go for "stupidity money" nowadays. This is an expertly created aged guitar that feels, sounds and looks the part. It's a gorgeous playing and sounding thing , nice and lightweight and easily the best T style guitar I've ever played, never mind owned. 
Specs:

• Dakota Red light relic nitro (lots of checking and a few minor dings and marks)
• Double bound - aged
• Bigsby aged nickel - stays in tune extraordinarily well
• Aged nickel hardware
• Aged mint pickguard
• Aged nickel string tree
• Maple bolt on neck (think modern C for reference) aged and as smooth as a very very smooth thing
• The darkest Pao Ferro fretboard I've ever seen! 9.5" radius, rolled edges.
• Luscious aged clay fretboard inlays
• Fender Vintage Noiseless AlNiCo II pickups

So why am I looking to trade/part exchange it? Honestly, as beautiful a Tele as it is it's just not getting played. Here's the link to my trading feedback:
 https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/62765/bad-alice/p1 to reassure yourself too. This guitar comes with an excellent, high quality hard case and will be boxed up, packed safely and I can send it anywhere in the UK Next Day delivery. 

Price: £1400 £1300

This guitar is now up for sale elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw it from sale here if required. 

Feel free to DM if you have any questions and/or want more pics etc 
Right then,

I guess it's over to you...

I have a sonic blue Retrosonic – tried a boatload of Fender Custom Shops and it won the day. Just plays and sounds like a good old 60s Fender, super resonant. GLWTS!

Thanks so much for the lovely comments, fellas. It's a superb Tele and Revelator clearly employ some kind of Dark Side sorcery to make their guitars feel like they're actually born in the 60s. I have no doubts I'll regret parting with this but...GAS. Plus, it's a guitar of a quality that should be getting played all the time. That it's mostly not idling away the days on a wall hanger in my home is an absolute waste IMO.

Cheers David.
Funnily enough, I thought of you when I put this up for sale.
Yeah.
Both in a "David + this guitar = YUP" and a "I know one person who may experience anaphylaxis when he realises I'm selling my only Tele" kinda way.
