I am really really GASing for a American Performer telecaster, the neck humbucker one.
But I have way way too many guitars, including a nashville b bender tele. I dont play it a lot and I never use the b bender.
My plan is to put a vibramate and 'F' bigsby on the Performer. I'm looking at a bit of change from £1400. I'd sell the bender tele.
Am I being stupid and/or gone lockdown crazy? I kinda feel like the bender tele is a 'proper' USA tele while the Performer has some compromises and I may be downgrading, losing money and having to go into the minefield of selling (during lockdown!).
Any thoughts?

The formula has consistently been wooden bits of equivalent quality to the American Pro series with Asian hardware. (The obvious comparator here is the PRS S2 series.)
Pickups vary from model to model. Check the specs for whichever model you are considering.
IMO, the money required to purchase an AmPerf Tele and, then, fit a Bigsby would probably net a tidy, pre-owned, all-American guitar that has the Bigsby factory fitted.
I also forgot that Id have to buy a Hiscox too cos they only come with gigbag (1k guitar with a bag, rly??).
I want vintage white, a neck humbucker, bigsby and Hiscox. I basically want Bernard Butler's telecaster. It just dont know if it seems realistic finding that secondhand.
Sorry, I tried.
