SOLD: 42nd Street Broadway 6 Tele (850!)

What's Hot
CFHCFH Frets: 463
edited June 2021 in Guitars £
A very reluctant sale of my newly acquired 42nd Street Broadway 6 telecaster fuelled by my incorrigible fondness of Jazzmasters...

This is an absolute belter of a telecaster. I don't have any scales, but it is very light and easily the most responant electric guitar I have ever owned. You can quite literally feel it vibrate, wonderful stuff. The pickups are fantastic and the neck feels great (yes, even with the vintage radius which I haven't found myself choking out on!). What's not to like?

Build quality and setup is excellent as you would expect from one of Angela's full builds. 

I'm looking to get back what I paid which was a bargain price of £850. I don't really want to post this but I am happy to meet up within an hour and a half or so of Leeds if that helps. 

Here's some detail:

    I remember admiring this when it was for sale last time. I hope it's not breaking any confidences when I say that this was discussed as a possible trade for my Jazzmaster. As luck would have it, I had just acquired a CS Tele in Lake Placid Blue, or I would have been very interested in this indeed.

    I'm intrigued by these as they have a great reputation for build, and I think this one is beautiful. It seems a great price, too.
    Call me Dave.
