Price check on Fender Tele?

Post by ProcessedMeatMan »

I'm considering getting a 1989 Telecaster USA in gun metal blue. The only blemish is a cigarette burn in the headstock. What do these usually sell for?

Speedfish does have a point tho. Someone should totally mod move this thread.

My best guestimate is $500-$800. But that figure is based on intuition and a quick glance at TDPRI.

You can't ban ham. Life doesn't work that way.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

Local craigslist, guy was asking $1,000. I've done some research in addition to the feedback here. Fuck to the no on that price.

Late 80s stuff isn't anything special. It's probably worth about the same as a second hand Am Std, less so if it needs any work (refret etc).
