My BIL thinks I have a problem.. During Covid I got the following guitars:
That is just the teles. I know I have a problem but when it rains, get a bucket.

I don't see a problem at all. I'm literally checking Google, Reverb, Ebay and even Guitar Center's used listings. How's the neck on the AV '58 Tele compared to the 70th Anniversary Esquire?

Was just about to post the same listing as above by @TeleBluesMan
Looks slightly beat up, but dang, he’s weighing it at 6lbs 10oz...that’s super light. Even more so than most custom shop’s I’ve seen.

I was looking at this one. I think I mentioned it earlier just didn't know if in that condition it was worth the price. I saw the pricing history with ones listed in better condition going for the same or less.

Of that series the '58 seems to be the rarest of the bunch. I played a new one at Sam Ash back then and it was exceptional.
I should have bought it. These appear to sell higher currently than the '52 and '64 versions.

A LOT of the early ones 2012-2013 are beat to heck but if you are patient and wait they do pop up in good condition
Anywhere from 1900-2500 usd
I was looking for one recently before I got an itch for an a.v. 59 maple board strat
And… even Though they have guidelines on condition I find a lot of listings on reverb not exactly accurate, most are but some are subject such as “it’s in great condition for having been beat on for ten years”
Edit: the one in the listing above is average for the condition you will find these in
And proves my point, that guitar is NOT in very good condition, that is good to fair at worst

Thanks for the reply. Another one popped up ,but looks like it was dropped on the side by the jack. That is about what I want to spend sadly patience isn't my strongest attribute however I will probably just wait. I take good care of my instruments. I have never dropped one/had one fall though there is a first time for everything.

Thanks for the heads up. That's the from the Classic Series line though and I'm pretty set on the American Vintage line '58 Tele. I've owned Esquires from Classic Series line. Very nice guitars!

You’re right. I forgot that you are looking for an AV. They are definitely nicer than the Classic series, but this one is priced low and someone here may want it. Around the cost of a Player new.
Best of luck in you search.

The AV line is getting close to Custom Shop prices, you've got to look at it logically. The AV line is my favourite American production model, but it's not that good.
I was in a situation where I could have purchased a 65 AV Strat (same price as AV teles) but as expected the price was too high, I held off and for only $300 more I got a CS 60 NOS! It's my new (equal) number 1.
