WTB:Feeler: Cheap Tele, Squier ?

Sarge

Really need to own my first tele, so for starters I'm looking for a cheap, and I mean cheap, squier affinity type dealio
Don't want to spend much so as beat up as possible I guess....although "beat up" these days reads "roadworn" "natural relic" and "mojo!"

come at me!

If you want really cheap, Thomann have their TE 20 for under £50.

If you fancy a bit of work I've got a jimmy page dragon tele replica that needs fettling - £80

@monofin ; pics?

Will try to sort tonight.
Honestly needs a decent set up to make it playable - don't know it's origins but assume its one of the Chinese cheapos

Sarge

Still looking, not much so far.

You can have this one for £70 plus postage. Its gone from T1000 to Jooky to Georgaintl to me.

Decent pickups (Irongear Rolling Mill 2 mini HB in neck) but needs rewiring as previous owner has used connectors rather than 'real man soldering'! 

Can include the brand new hardcase that Jooky supplied to Georgaintl for an extra £30.

Sarge

Hmm, interesting.
In that thread @T1000 said he converted it to a neck through?! What's the current state of neck to body join?

t1000

@sarge not a neck through mate string through got the wording wrong originally And yep It was me who used connectors! Lazyness on my part I'm afraid.

Sarge

Ah, see that makes a LOT more sense! Cheers for the clarification.

@robwright I'll have a ponder while waiting to see if anything else pops up, red is really not my colour, and it's nowt to do with coming from the blue half of Liverpool, honestly!

Sarge

So the neck has been finished in Tru oil, does that go for the fretboard too?
Any chance of a few close ups @robwright?

robwright

Will do.

Sarge

You're a goodun, cheers
