ON HOLD: 1999 Fender USA Telecaster - £585
What's Hot
***ON HOLD***
Yup. A Fender USA Tele. For less than 600 notes.
In moderately relic'd, 'road worn' condition. The wear looks a little too forced to me, like someone decided to have a crack at the relic'ing game, and then tired of it. But what do I know? In perfect working order, beautifully set up by previous owner. With after-market set of Fender locking tuners. Weights 8 lb 5 oz or thereabouts. Usual Fender C neck, feels slightly on the chunkier side to my delicate, poet's hands.
Acquired by me from
@chotu495 last weekend. His FS thread is
here.
So why am I selling? Various reasons, but mainly that I must have been through a dozen teles, including a 1972 Custom I sold just a couple of weeks back, and they're just not my 'thing'. I'd hoped this might be the one to change that - it isn't. I've spent the last 3 days when time and incessant demands permitted A/B-ing this with my Gibson Nighthawk and I genuinely prefer the latter. Because heresy. Plus, I've been a silly sod and bought all sorts of other bright shiny things and something has to give. So it's this one.

Why's it £585 for this, when you bought it for £575 you chiselling profiteering flipper sneak vermin SCUM', I hear you all cry. Simple explanation: when I picked it up, @chotu495 didn't have a gig bag spare, so it came home snug as a bug in a rug in the boot of my low-slung, sporty coupé. But I've now purchased a brand new generic gig bag so the new lucky owner can get it home safely.
£585 collected from Schloss Moans, in the People's Republic of Barnet. Or I can drive out a bit - say an hour in any direction. I will not post this without a hardcase.
Trades? Not really after anything, save I have half a yen for a tweedy 5e3 type amp. No harm in asking if you have other beads and shiny trade goods.

Log on and then go to the pub, or thinking about it log on from pub?
I thought they'd called you to the bar?
