tomteriffic Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 The "Face it, dude, you have cancer and the last stroke F%$kd your fingers up bad" purge continues. This one's gonna sting. It's a 1994 T-51 in excellent condition. No dings I can find, completely original, no bridge screw rust, just a peachy example of a black guard Tele. Comes with the uber cool (and pretty damn rare) checkerboard case. No stories, no worries. A look at recent sales of these on Re-burp looks like they run about $1,100 -$1,500, none with the case and only a couple in comparable condition. So HFC good buddy price is $1,200. Price is plus shipping, PP F&F or you pick up the fees. PIX:
BubbaVO Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 That one is in beautiful condition. Way better shape than mine. Someone should jump on this.

topekatj Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Nice guitar! I was unaware that the T-51 had a belly cut on the back. The body itself appears to be alder. I’d have jumped on this if it had a rosewood fingerboard. GLWTS

tweed Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Oooh, Very nice ! Never had a Telle-type anything before. But I'm up to 16 guitars now...... Must Stop..... Must Stop !! Dag, I hate it when G.A.S. starts kickin' in. Seems like I'm just blowin' my pension on Mahogany, Alder, Paulownia, Korina and Swamp Ash..... Well, no Swamp Ash yet, but Must Stop.....Must Stop !!

Buy 'em, play 'em until you can't, then sell them off and getcher self a 500 HP bass boat metalflake wheelchair with fins from a '59 Caddy!
beezerboy Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 and... a 1 pc body. a lot of sources say they were 2 pc. I don't know that though, maybe the painted ones? I've only seen a couple with clear tinted topcoats and they were both 1 pc. I had one for a couple years. played good, sounded great.. great guitar but heavy A F

tonefiend Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Classic and clean, with sweet checkerboard case. Everyone needs a solid T-style guitar. 🤘

I was really, really holding off on this one. Oh, the GAS pressure I was under. If it was still there by Friday, that would have been my first Swamp Ash beauty. Enjoy my friend, enjoy !
