That's going straight on my basket!

Well it would be if I had £1200! 

Gassage

Buy it. I wanna buy this R6.

robwright

Swap for the wife? Late 60's model, light relic.

Gassage

Not much use to me. I'd have more use for a steam iron.

photek

Is this a Bill Nash; I thought he started later than 97?

And who would do the ironing? Doh!

Pretty sure Nash started his guitar business in 2001. I know he has mentioned that date in a few interviews.

So more likely a 2007 model.

GLWTS

Nice guitars either way

EDIT

Fuck, OK...Brins said it has a mark in falt tip inside which says 97.
I stupidly assumed that was the date, but it must be something else....

When did Fender sue him re logo?

stonevibe

I believe he has never officially used the F logo.

As far as I know it would have been applied afterwards by an owner / dealer.

Gassage

Then how do I date it?

photek

It is probably 07 inside. Mine was an 07 and had the proper F style headstock. Brilliant guitars.

Does he not normally/supposedly write the date on the back of the headstock?

stonevibe

Mine has 07 on the headstock

Trude

Gah - having just bought that beast of a Nash Replique Tele off your mate, I'm now unreasonably tempted by this too.....

Given all the confusion around the date, shall we say £500? >:)

Sounds like a fake to me. Maybe even a Fender...

Gassage
