i don't think $145k would fit in my pocket.

Only owned for half a year? Trying to flip it.

BlackASATClassic · December 9th, 2007, 01:53 PM

Is it just me, or does the headstock look a little long? Almost G&Lish..

SINCASTER · December 9th, 2007, 02:06 PM

Before you consider it beyond your budget, factor in the $25 ebay Mastercard cash back offer.
Now it's an affordable $144,975.

telechaser · December 9th, 2007, 02:20 PM

That'll justify the couple of custom Tele shaped guitars I'm after .. only a measly $5k each.

Now, where did I put that spare 10 grand?

Telelicious · December 9th, 2007, 03:08 PM

Thats also the seller paying a $4350 final value fee from ebay if it sells. And if you buy it thru PayPal another $2175 And if youre out of the country, another foreign exchange transaction fee based on the exchange rate.

Wonder if I can get a discount

mysteryrain · December 9th, 2007, 03:50 PM

Teleliciuos: if it was me... add also Italian custom duties at 23%, another 33.350 USD...

JimiBryant · December 9th, 2007, 03:55 PM

sure, I'll just sell my copy of Superman #1 and that deck chair
from the Titanic!!

Ed Bickert · December 9th, 2007, 04:19 PM

You have to admit, that's one CLEAN looking tele. They sure didn't use that tele as a muse for the modern relics.

Grin'n'pick · December 9th, 2007, 04:51 PM

That guitar has been flagged up here before. I always have a great time perusing those pictures.

From the look: this headstock and logo must be new(er).

I think that neck looks very light... too light for an instrument of that age.
Could it have been refinished or would keeping it in a REAL dark spot all those years do the trick?

64Strat · December 10th, 2007, 07:43 AM

you guys are hilarious!

there is nothing wrong with that guitar, it is just a really, REALLY, pristine example.

the price is steep but how many Nocasters exist in that level of condition? That one and maybe lees than a handful of others.

The guy can basically name his price and see if someone wants to add it to their collection at that value.

thatsJared · December 10th, 2007, 09:13 AM

$200 shipping fee?!? I would expect the guitar to be brought in a limo to my house at no charge for that price.

Just my $0.02.

Hafner · December 10th, 2007, 11:20 AM

Collection item. That guitar will be another one, that nobody will ever see and hear on stage I assume.

+1 on that. Sad that its unlikely to get really played.

I wonder would it be worth making a stupid offer?

Did you guys see this one finally sold? I was actually surprised it did for that much but they don't come much better.
