Looks like a Japanese '62 reissue. What is he trying to achieve. God there's some dicks about at the moment.

Weird ad. Looks like a Jap Custom Tele but can't think why he would want to advertise it like that. Maybe I should put my R8 down to £150 - subject to blah blah...

Message saying you will take it for the £150 asking price

Pulled.

<edit - it's back>

This seller in Derby ALWAYS has loads of dodgy ads - all totally misleading.

Lukeage

Great detail in that ad.

Much detail.

Lots guitar.

Nice buy.

Big dollar.

If it's late 80s it's pushing 30 years old... with a bit of artistic licence. (I think they came out around 1986.) That doesn't make it vintage though, at least not to me - 'vintage' means more than something which is just 20+ years old, as some people seem to define it.

I do not understand his deal??

I was laughing at a few of his ads last night.

This I think takes the biscuit. I do hope it's not true!

"Pristine fender stratocaster. Belonged to my boyfriend. But he's dead now. Call for details."

Call for details of the death, or the guitar?!

Jesus. It also makes it sound like asking for details for the wrong thing. 

"Hello, about the dead boyfriend. How did he die?" *click*

Was the Strat used as the murder weapon, and if so, what's the neck profile?

DeeTee

And did it crack the lacquer?

I'm making jokes on the assumption it's a fake ad. If it's not, I'm an asshole.

It's our place, nay, duty, to make jokes.  If that's a serious ad, it's seriously misjudged.

Its not some sort of a scam is it? I cant begin to imagine any reasons for an advert so obtuse and vague. Lovely Telecaster though it would be a challenge to buy it I imagine!
