Help w/ odd Tele ID. GT 426 "Stage" Arlington Texas

[Gannon]

Hi all. 1st post here. I need info on a guitar that I can find NO info on ANYWHERE. This Tele copy says on the headstock...... GT 426 "Stage" guitars Arlington Texas. Nicely built, great sounding guitar that is loaded w/ Texas Special pickups in a Strat configuration, and really fancy figured wood on the body w/ rosewood fingerboard. I am thinking of selling this guitar and need some help w/ it to better describe and find a appropriate value, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Gannon

Maybe start by calling some local (Arlington, TX) guitar shops that have been around for a while? I would look up Player's Music in Hurst. http://www.playersmusic.net/

Check the pot codes to estimate what year the guitar was made.

Maybe some of the Dallas shops would be helpful, too? Charlie's, maybe?

I understand that this is an older post, but if you are like me you may still be searching for information on your "stage" guitar. I've found some information at VintAxe.com but dont have a membership to access the catalogs. What I can say, Is that "Stage" Guitars were made by Center Stage Music Products durring the 80's and possibly early 90's. They appear to have actually been manufactured in Japan, even though the headstock says Arlington TX. I can also say, that mine is very well made and has held up well through the 18+ years its been around, and though it needs some TLC, I still play it often.

Here is what I have found! The Cs350 in Red was my very first guitar given to me by my father for my 14th birthday. Very well made guitar. It was 1988, and it is still hanging around.

oh, and the number on the catalog cover is:
(817) 478-8442
Kennedale, TX
