Hello, owner of world's ugliest Telecaster!

Someone will want it. They're very fashionable now - probably for the first time since 1978 - and I'm sure it will find a good home.

Before someone comes along and tells you off, you'd be better moving this to the classifieds - click on the 'gear wheel' symbol at the top right of your post, select edit and choose the new location - and it would be best to give a rough idea of valuation and if possible a pic or two.

Welcome, and good luck - I have a friend who likes this sort of thing so I'll ask him if he's interested. He has family in Nottingham so not too far away from you.

And I.

I was just being funny . I do really think they're ugly, but some people definitely like them and they are now worth quite a bit more than an equivalent 'plain' version.

I had a Strat one briefly about 25 years ago. Colour aside it wasn't a great guitar unfortunately - typical of a late-70s Strat. The Teles suffered less in that period.

Antigua Coronados are a thing of absolute beauty. Doesn't work on all though. There's a Japanese Antigua jaguar which is hideous.

Ha....that's random enough to be a disturbing dream.... :-)

And here's my favourite guitar, being ruined by a colour scheme that I like!

Think the tele is the best model for the Antigua finish - bit like Marmite I guess....

How much cash are you wanting for it mate?

bgmartinsbridge

Prefer a trade for a Custom 24 or LP Std really. Cash offers around 1400.

Good luck

Bump for trades

Saw one of these in a little music shop in Barrow in Furness about 1990. It was priced at £275. Went off to the bank to get the cash so I could go back and negotiate. Returned half an hour later and it had been sold! You win some and lose some.
