A friend of mine wants to sell me this guitar. It's a refin and he has the original pickguard that I could put back on it....It's killing me......must have it..

learn to play switch!

IPLAYLOUD · June 11th, 2009, 04:19 PM

Get it...and go back to Esquire. You'll never regret it.

Sollophonic · June 11th, 2009, 05:46 PM

Do I take it that you are right handed and this is a lefthanded guitar?

I'd still get it in an instant if it was at a price I could afford. That is one gorgeous Tele/Esquire, and it would be a simple job to swap the nut, restring it right handed, and tweak the intonation a bit. Sure you would have a bit more of the top horn in the way of the high notes, but who needs fret access, when you have TONE!!!

If it was THE tele, and it was a good price, I'd buy a lefty and play it right handed without a doubt.

In fact I am still looking out for a nice lefty tele to play righty, because I think they look and feel way cooler than flipped Strats

Rick W · June 11th, 2009, 05:53 PM

I am a lefty, that's what's killing me. I could swing it but I'd have to sell everything but my '52..It may be worth it....I'm sweating thinking about it..

Paulie13 · June 11th, 2009, 05:57 PM

If you can stand parting with stuff to sell for it. do it. Dont sell anything you will regret though.

funff · June 11th, 2009, 06:57 PM

Yeesh, that's a HOT guitar!!!

I love it!

I'm a lefty by nature who learned to play righty, right from the start.

If I had that baby, I think I'd RE-LEARN lefty just so I could play it "properly" !!

You must get it if you can....

bandeapart · June 11th, 2009, 07:05 PM

Buy it, buy it, buy it!!!

evilBOXevil · June 11th, 2009, 07:39 PM

Being a lefty, I can definitely say....buy that sucker!! Sell things if you have to (with the exception of kidneys and the '52 you mentioned).

Flipped Mustang · June 15th, 2009, 03:08 AM

NICE! I don't know what he's asking, but if it's not too crazy I'd jump on that! I've been looking for a nice vintage lefty forever and they just DON'T show up. You can always sell it in a few years for more than you paid for it.

JCSouthpawtele · June 15th, 2009, 03:24 AM

Are you part of the lefty club in the guitar owners page? join the party. If you could swing it buy it. I would love to own a real vintage tele. someday..but as the other guys say if you could sell off gear to make a purchase..I say don't sell gear you might one day regret selling. I regret selling a few Fender amps. But I sold those to add to the down payment on house.

Southpaw Tele · June 15th, 2009, 04:09 AM

Buy it!

56strat · June 15th, 2009, 03:45 PM

Just do it, Ricky!!!!! But you have to keep that other Esquire too. That thing sounds unbelieveable with that Eldred mod you did. Find a way!!!!

jwells393 · June 15th, 2009, 03:53 PM

There's a lefty on eBay that has me tempted.

Rick W · June 16th, 2009, 10:54 AM

Thanks for the input guys...

Hey Matt,
Did you see the question I asked about the natural finish on 60's Teles?
