I don't know much about vintage teles. I am considering buying one offered for sale locally. Seller is in his 70's, doesn't play anymore, after many years of gigging and says he bought it 35 years ago in Texas, I forget the name of the shop he got it from. Says its in VG condition, all original hardware. He says the color is red, just like Ricky Scaggs Tele? I haven't seen the guitar yet, but I am considering going to take a look. He told me the serial number, 29,000 something. Top load bridge. His price seems reasonable. I told him I thought the price was good, and he said it was a nice guitar, too nice not to be played. I figured I would check with some experts here, before I check it out. From what little I have gathered from the internet, it seems like a steal. I don't know. I would have to get a loan this week. Time seems of the essence though. I guess I should look for screw bridge saddles. Serial number seems right for late 58. Any thought are much appreciated.
