Picking it up for 200 with Hardshell Case
heres some pics he sent me
fucking excited, this will be my 3rd telecaster, will join the P-Rails tele [Sadie] and my other MIM Telecaster that is getting new GFS Neovin pickups
will keep this one stock except for a black pickguard possibly, but that might look fuckugly...

True, but how can you complain about a $200 Fender Telecaster WITH A FUCKING CASE???

If he really wants string through it's an easy mod.
Thinking about repainting anyway aren't you haze?

I don't think i'll do another refinish for a while, although the weather is nice for it

nah, you misunderstood. i'm not complaining, because i'm not paying. i'm just saying, it needs the shit. looks like a squier w/o. i know you're plenty capable of such a task.
no string-thru FTL.
FEDNAR MIM GUIT WIF CASE: FTW

I knew it was Jimmy Page's, but I had no idea Jeff Beck gave it to him. Cool info, thanks.

yep i have to agree here.
it looks like it's the all-black logo, i guess it's a (IIRC) '96/7 MIM tele. not bad, not bad.
good guitars and also great to mod and "customize".
have fun!
Pat.

Man that is one great steal
I'd get a vintage style bridge if it was mine. Six saddles + tele don't look quite right to me

Sexy black-n-mappel!
I've actually considered getting a new black bod and giving away our darling Esquink body to any of you at the next NAMM hookup in order to head that direction.

You read my mind, I had a tele once where the reason I didn't splurge on a bigsby was because I didn't want to put holes in the top when it had holes in the back that I would have to fill to make it look right.
