I'd bid on all three.

I specially like the 72.

Where else ya gonna find em? How much dew yew wanna pay? Will yew wait roun fer the price ta come down? Better pack a lunch er tew.

Difference in price muss be the lack of date on the older one I reckon.

BTW I smoke these:

Is this ole' Nadav at his worst again ?

(Can someone confirm?)

[jvc]

It might be NOD OFF, I don't see his user name any more, and tune o matic is also in L.A. with the same outrageous prices and similar inventory. A co inky dink? I don't think so, I think he be the same guy who has been parting out a lotta cool stuff. I gotta agree with Peds on those prices, totally off the charts. I agree with Fuzzy that the prices won't go down on the old stuff, it's just that they start way too high. jvc

I am knott a part of that circle on eBay. It has gone way off in a tangent from my inner-rest and pocket book.

I am a part of another circle where a control assembly kin go fer a $1000 or more.

My point is that as we progress into the vintage or semi-vintage market specific numbers of those TELECASTERs were made and as the increase of inner-rest in them shows sew will the price of parts for them.

Lets say yew haff a great shape body (I don't HEE! HEE!) for a 1972 TELECASTER or one that is modified tew yer specks and the neck is worn beyond playability. Yew haff a choice er tew. Haff it re-finished and re-fretted and pay the man (PC=woman) and end up with jes that, a re-done deal at a cost of near $400 +/- $200 plus shippin ect. Yew could buy an aftermarket one from the many folks who cell em but again, shippin, decal, finish and on and on plus knott bean "Original".

How bad dew yew want yer TELECASTER tew be the same as it waz?

Here is a neck jes like yers waz and yes mebby the hoe guitar waz a $1000 at one time but I DID buy a 59 Esquire fer $70 once upon a time. That is history yet here is the neck yew want and it looks tew be in good shape. Dew yew bee-atch about the price or pay it and haff watt yew want or let it slide onto the next fellers/gurls lap?

$35,000 comes tew mind fer a Broadcaster when a used reissue @ $1000will be about the same. If yer the buyer of the Broadcaster yer opinion will be a lot different than that of an observer sittin at his/her cornfuser.

Watt ever the market will bare and I reiterate, if I hadda getus------------.

One more thang before I hush up, lets say yew are one of the many folks roun who kin relic and make a body look and feel jes like that 72 and yew are of the less-than-honest ilk and yew know yew kin git $2000 fer a 72 on eBay mite yew wanna pay that much and make a profit?---------some will I gar-on-tee-tolt yew.

As well as with those $1000 control assemblies...

As you say, you can only sell something for what someone is willing to pay for it. I don't think any neck is worth that, but it may be for some.

The problem with any of this stuff is that a real 72 body with a replacement 72 neck is no longer original (but how could you tell?). Likewise, a 54 with a replacement control assembly is no longer original (but, again....).

I don't know what's worth what, anymore. At least if I roll my own, I know what I can sell the parts for.
