Temptation wins The $285 Bigsby Tele

Following a tip from Califiddler, I'm $285 closer to going broke from saving money

I just couldn't resist this low $'s beauty. Click this link now to see it before Elderly pulls it-I just ordered it:

You got a bargain there on that beauty! You owe Califiddler a 'juice'.

Nice to be able to revisit history with the same colour scheme as your first tele. Hope you enjoy it.

That's a great looking tele.

You got a great deal from a great place.

Love the ffolks at Elderly.

Congrats!

Wow.. That's a steal! Awesome buy. :D

A little nostalgia played a role...I didn't have a case for that first Tele, carried it unprotected through San Francisco fog to band rehearsals, Tele in one hand, amp in the other, wiping the moisture off the Tele in the studio...the poly finish actually checked nicely!

Elderly just emailed me the bad news: "my" Bigsby Tele was already sold :? :(

I'll live.
