NGD 60s Classic

Took my mim standard into a local guitar shop looking for a part exchange and saw this new 2010 60's classic on sale for £349.
I wanted £200 for my guitar but was only offered half that, a customer overheard and said he'd give me my asking price there and then.
So for my old guitar and £149 ended up walking out with this.
After adjusting the truss rod and putting on some new strings it's one of the best guitars i've played.

I'm debating on getting one Olympic White or Candy Apple Red. I haven't found any pictures showing the Olympic White with a straight White Pickguard, just Mint Green.

Wow, you did some great dealing there. That's a great price for an unused or NOS MIM Classic 60s Tele. And these can be hard to find!

And the best part is, these are very under rated, very worthwhile guitars. These are superb value, even at more usual retail prices.

I would bet the reason Mark Davis and so many others here don't have them, is they can't get their hands on them. I haven't seen one in a guitar store in 12 months.

Very, very well played, sir!!


Oh, and don't go anywhere with that Mint Green pickguard. Excellent, it looks perfect.

Yeah, and for some dirty old 1959 Gibson thing. Can you imagine?
