WTB/WTF: TLE

[mhmike]

Alright. I need a nice substitute for my 83 Phantom. I'm looking for a short scale (24.75"), hardtail one. No green or red finish, if possible. Transparent/natural would be ideal.

I've been thinking about this lately. I know Mr. Fung had one up a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't in the cards then...I've been thinking, and I don't play my 94 T-51 at all. Mostly because I just need that bridge humbucker BAD.

It plays magically and has the best neck I've ever laid my hands on. Great frets, a few tiny dings on the top, pickguard has a crack that goes from the lipstick pickup. to the left edge. I'm almost positive it is all stock (pickguard, pickups, tuners), WITH the exception that it currently has a Wilkinson 3-barrel compensated saddle bridge on it now. Stock Hamer bridge comes with it, too, so you can swap it out on a string change if you want. I like the Wilkinson a little better for more Fender-y sounds. Great looking natural/butterscotch finish.

Long story short: I want a TLE, but don't really have the funds to buy/bid for one outright right now, but am willing to trade my 94 T-51 towards it, plus of course some cash on my end. Maybe there aren't any TLEs floating around...?! Heck, or anyone who wants to trade for this specific guitar. Here's some pics for you hounds anyway . This is just how I received it, I've changed nothing but the strings twice:

I may not be able to help you right now, but I will offer mine for trade in a couple of months. Since I live abroad, I need to be traveling to the US so that shipping does not eat me alive.

I should be there in June, but I'm not sure yet.

I will be looking hopefully to Fender stuff, or some cool amps, but...who knows.

BTW, your T51 looks great.

Wow! A couple of great looking guitars. I hope this trade works out for both of you!

Jorge, just keep in touch with me via PMs (or emails, metalheadmike@gmail.com). Your TLE is a beauty!! Sadly, I have no Fender gear, nor any amps to pare off...just the T-51 for now! So, if you're interested in Hamer doing their best Fender...
