Hey,
Welcome. I'm new here too and from Ireland. Snap!! :)
The finish won't be a problem man. Maybe just play it beforehand though to be sure you like how it sounds and plays, rather than looks. You can get iffy ones.
Did you try Waltons? They'll usually order something in for you within a week.

Hi David, welcome!!
At the prices I just saw some Relic Teles online, even if the finish wouldn't hold up that would be a great investment :))
Congrats on your soon-new guitar!
