Should I?

So I just got offered this for my white hh mustang. Should I take it? I looked it up and these teles look to be pretty rare and there isn't much info on them. It's mahogany and there are lindy frailin pups in it.

That thing is hideous.

Flames and f-holes don't mix. Save it for a pointy metal guitar. And why poo brown flames anyway?

I'd rock it, and I don't like thin lines

I actually quite like that.

Could see that on some gun loving yeehaw's wall with his hunting trophies - revolting, but there might be a few quid profit in it?

In terms of flipping for a profit: yes. You'll get a fair bit for the pickups, too (although they go well with that finish, bizarrely). I know a chap who's selling some thinline pickups, so shout if you do buy it and I'll put you in touch.

Is this guitar worth it? It is mahogany with a matching headstock too.

If it's what I think it is (limited edition MIM Fender 69 thinline from a few years ago with factory flame job), then TDPRI and Fenderforum guys will love them.

Yeah it's that one.

That's unusual, and I don't think it's ugly.

But dudes... It's flames. Women love flames right? Geez.. First Act understands.

Flames fucking suck, forever. Women hate flamez, they like caring guys that wear moisturizer and guyliner. Get a grip man. Its awful, forget it.
