Pick ups replaced with Lindy Fralin 54's . Work/Parts on the strat just shy of £300. Trem bloc and trem replaced with Callahan.
Back of neck stripped back to wood - smooth and fast, no stickiness. Expertly set up with 10's. All work carried out by Charlie Chandler. £600. £550.
The only trades I would consider is a tele with a rosewood neck that is light in weight with a relatively slim neck and real mojo.

Bump for a great collection of guitars

What's the neck profile like on the Tele mate?
Neck profile is medium/ slim - definitely not super skinny and definitely not baseball bat. Hope that helps.
James you are so right. It has no right to be as good as it is but it is !
When I picked it up from Charlie after he had completed some work on it there was a famous/name guitarist collecting a 50's Les Paul with 2 P90's.
I am ashamed to say I didn't recognise him but was introduced.
Anyhow after some discussion we both played and compared each other's respective guitars.
He genuinely & without encouragement suggested that mine was not a million miles away from his in respect of feel, tone etc despite his being ridiculously more expensive than mine.
I was genuinely flattered.
Sadly I very rarely pick it up as I mostly play acoustic these days and if I plug in I instinctively pick up my dependable old battered Jap Tele.
Thanks for the bump but I will not strip these guitars. If they don't float anyone's boat as is I will gladly hang on to them.
Alternatively maybe due to confusion as a result of old age & retirement........No idea.
i haven't been on the forum for some time due to GAS suppression.
Happy to do whatever is required to put right . No deception involved or intended.

Jim is an unmettled cul-de-sac on the information superhighway.

Only got small hands!
Strat pick ups are in fact Lindy Fralin 54's not Lollars. Work/Parts on the strat just shy of £300.
Work/parts on Epic Les Paul Special - £350.
Cabronita has TV Jones Powertron bridge also. Work on the Tele Cabronita including cost of pick ups and bridge and putting together and setting up (Not including cost of body, neck and other sundry parts) just short of £400.
All great guitars that deserve to be used much more than at present.
Operating multiple IDs here generally results in an instant ban.
But there's clearly no subterfuge intended in your situation. I've renamed your second ID to remove your email address from public display (you really don't want to do that!). I've also changed the pw on that ID so you won't be able to log in to use it.
If you originally registered email address (@btinternet) is no longer valid & working, let me know via PM, and I can update that too.
Anyhow I will try and make sure I only enter site with my original ID.
Thanks TTony & apologies for my IT ineptitude.
Change of plan - Cabronita and Les Paul special withdrawn.
Only Strat available now,
Also considering offering up my vintage silver face vibrolux reverb, a THR10 & Ditto X2 looper.
Any interest pm me please.
