(This is the actual guitar but not my own pics of it - I'll get better ones asap)
Fantastic guitar, just not a fan of the colour, which is "Ocean Turquoise".
This is a lovely double-bound, alder body, rosewood fretboard American Vintage Reissue Telecaster. It has the stock '62 Custom pickups that were designed for it. It's in great condition, comes with the brown G7G tolex case with gold interior and the candy including the ashtray bridge cover and spare six-saddle bridge.
Full disclosure: there is the faintest trace of a star impression on the body behind the bridge and running under the control plate. Best I can determine it's actually under the finish - I have emailed Fender about it and they've confirmed that it's not a refinished guitar, but have no explanation for the star, so I guess it's possible it was a CS body with a test finish that then got sent to main production and ended up as an AVRI (that's just a theory, it doesn't make it special) either way the star is all but invisible unless you hold the guitar up to the light and look for it. I can't even photograph it because you need to move the guitar around to see it. Other than that it's a solid 9.5/10.
Like I said, the colour is not for me (although it's insanely rare, if you care about that kind of thing) and that's the only reason I'm after trading it, or I'd keep it forever because it's awesome. As such I'd like another AVRI tele. I like blondes, not a fan of reds, black or sunburst. I'd love a '58 or '64 in white or even a '52 in butterscotch. I hear there was one of these '62 customs in inca silver, if you'd trade me for one of the those I'd throw in sexual favours.
I might, MIGHT be persuaded to trade for something other than this, but I have very narrow tastes so it would have to be really nice and of equivalent value, natch. Nothing modern.
Preston-based, can't travel far but will ship.
Comments
Promised some better pics, so here they are. The colour was a bastard to photograph as it kept coming out either blue or green so I've photohopped it to get it as close at it looks in real life as I can.
That being said I have a potential trade happening this weekend if all goes well, so I'll keep this thread updated.
