Hey, I made a similar post once to find a guitar that I couldn't find ANYWHERE. And someone managed to find me that guitar so I'll try again:

Does anyone here knows a (trustworthy) shop that sells the limited edition Fender American Original 50s telecaster? Feel free to PM me!

I'm talking about the Mary Kaye white blonde tele. I fell in love with it and am willing to sell my regular american originals for one!

Btw: I know they're chambered ash but I've read somewhere they also carry CS pick ups but every dealer lists them with the same stock PV '52 pups. And I also read that they don't use the poly undercoat like the regular series..? Anyone knows?

Pic for example:

Q: How many guitars does one need?
A: Just one... more.

Sorry, just had to.
Hahah! I only need 1 strat and tele but ended up with the 50s and 60s tele and 50s strat (looking for a 60s strat still)!
Though, nice for the visual collection aspect, I'm really trying to find one telecaster and 1 strat that sort of 'do it all' for me... I prefer my 50s tele over the 60s so this ltd mary kaye could be the one.

If anyone has a sunburst MIM Pawnshop series Mustang Special they want to offload I'll take it off you. I have a Candy Apple Red MIJ one I'd happily exchange - It's just a colour preference on my part but it seems they're rare as hens teeth here in the UK.

Try putting an ad up in the classified section of the forum. 😉

Do you have Reverb notifications setup? I have a couple uncommon things added to my Reverb email feed so I can jump on them if they ever surface.

Good call. Will definitly set that up now!

I actually added one to my watchlist a few months back on reverb. The listing has ended, but it still remains on my watchlist.
I sent a message because you never know and... he replied it's still for sale if someone wants it!
Had a good talk + received detailed extra pictures of the guitar. It's gorgeous!

I would never trade a guitar that works well and feels and plays how i want for another just cuz of looks. but u might be in a total different situation than me.

Not so much trading as trying out. But you're right. I'm loving this AO50 so much for some reason. It just has something about it that makes me jam for hours on end and feel genuine joy. I had multiple instruments in this price range and none gave me that feeling.
So there's no guarantee at all another AO50s would...
