bizzwriter Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Just spotted this "cheap" '53 Tele in the local Craigslist -- no affiliation... http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/msg/1149492421.html
specialk Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 OUCH!That sounds like a mistake I would've made.But ya know, I bet it's one of the sweetest playing Tele's out there.For the record, does anyone have a ballpark figure of what an all original 53 Tele would go for on the open market?
Bennyboy-UK Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Quote: - They made a one-off custom out of it. B&C made it a double cutaway and put a relief on the back (like a Stratocaster, see the picture) to fit against the players side comfortably, the edges were rounded and finally it was painted a beautiful metallic blue with a white neck....................... Translated as "I told them to do this to it...... NIGHTMARE! I need to go and look at my proper guitars, quickly, to get that picture out of my mind! B*
bizzwriter Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 For the record, does anyone have a ballpark figure of what an all original 53 Tele would go for on the open market?Probably starting at about US$15k for a "fully reliced" item. There was a '56 Tele in pretty good original condition on the Gear Page emporium for quite a while priced at US$12k. Don't know if he ever did sell it. A LOT of GREAT guitars coming out of the woodwork, and the prices are often remarkably low (if you can call a guitar priced at US$12k low-priced).
Jason01 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 call me crazy but I think that actually looks kinda cool!
veatch Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 The add is flagged. Out of curiosity, what was the asking price?
