Fender Custom Shop Telecaster '63 Reissue from 2001 in vintage blonde relic with rosewood fretboard. 

Bought this on here in late 2020 and it's a gorgeous, light, resonant Tele with superb, realistic light relicing - but I now need it less than I need a new car.

A few pix below, by kind permission of @brucegill ;;who is a way better photographer than I am. He has also generously let me link to his Dropbox folder where you will find a load more:

Price is £2,300 firm including delivery and assuming PP Friends and Family . . . roughly what I paid Bruce.

The Shop Floor Traveller below the pix indicates the body is ash (the blondes in this Time Machine series apparently were, though the rest were alder). It weighs 7lbs 3oz and plays beautifully. Lots of life left in the frets.

Comes in original C&G hard case with CoA and assorted case candy including bridge cover.

    That is just achingly pretty. Thank god it hasn't got a different radius/frets, otherwise I'd be close to doing something silly!

    Best of luck with the sale

    This is a great guitar! I’d love it back but have other purchases I need to make unfortunately. Good weight, nice and resonant, feels fantastic - really have a soft spot for for this era of the custom shop, the relics just seemed nicer to my eyes and more  realistic.
