Trade me your Telecaster

[gretschbigsby]

I have the Tele bug again...

I'm kind of particular when it comes to these guitars. I'm looking for one with a gloss neck, maple fretboard and a big profile (U or boat or bigger). Partscasters are OK, as long as the parts are good!

I already have the neck pickup I want... for the bridge, I'm looking for something in the Nocaster/Broadcaster/'52 RI area. USA made, and Duncan and other small makers are fine.

An Esquire would be as good as a Telecaster here...

Here is what I have to trade:

1998 Guild F-30R: This guitar is from the Westerly RI plant. Great tone/condition, K&K pickup, with two professionally repaired cracks (incurred in shipping-- one on the top, one around the strap peg/input jack) that do not show up in photos. OHSC

2004 Gibson Working Man 45 (WM 45): This was Gibson's budget J-45. It was made in the Bozeman plant of all the same materials as the J-45, except without the sunburst and binding, etc. Kind of like a simple J-50. It has a K&K pickup. Excellent Condition with OSHC.

Recent Goldton Banjitar Deluxe (GT-750): Gold Tone's top of the line Guitar Banjo, with resonator, pickup and OHSC. Ever want to play the banjo but not want to learn how to deal with new chord shapes and drone string? This is the answer. More information here: http://www.goldtone.com/products/details/w/instrument/59/GT-750-Banjitar-Deluxe

Help me out!

Wish I had a Tele with a fat neck Bob because I'd trade you back for that F30-R in a heartbeat.

Good luck with finding the right Tele... man, they're magical guitars.... even though I'm not very traditional in some of my T-style spec. leanings. Of the 4 electric guitars I own, I have 3 Esquires & a Tele... honestly, I've had no cravings for any new electrics during the past year/+ now (since I got the last Esquire) & it's possible that I never will again given the terrain these cover.

If you had caught me 2 weeks ago I had a very nice American made Tele with gloss maple neck! I would have loved to work something out for the F-30!

Here are a few pictures of the F30R! What a lovely Guild!

Well, I don't own a Tele, but I have been known to use this thing called, umm, cash.
If you were to consider that unusual type of transaction, in what neighborhood might that price be found?

Nice guitar, but it ain't a burst. Got any pics of that? :lol: :lol: :lol:
It doesn't seem that long ago since you sold this one Treemster.

I hadn't thought about selling it... but, if you are asking, I'm guessing in the $900 area? It has two repaired cracks-- professionally done and pretty invisible, but they are there.

The $900 area is very reasonable for that guitar, Bob. Have to check with the boss before I make any decisions, as always!
Remember, if Graham wants it, he's going to pay you with loonies. :shock:

Sure Rusty, take me out at the knees again

She has knees?
What's a man's man like you want with a littly bitty flattop anyway, Graham?

This is Russ with another F-30 that he beat me for. :shock:

Does he look like a petite man?

Everybody sing, "Tiny bubbles......"

BTW the thermostat on the wall behind Russ is mounted at 7' to prevent tampering. :lol:

 

[RussD]

C'mon, I didn't beat you for the f-30, it was the A-50 that I stole! :lol:

 

[Graham]

C'mon, I didn't beat you for the f-30, it was the A-50 that I stole! :lol:

You beat me for an A-50 too? You bastard!! :lol: :lol:

Bob, saw this on Craigslist in North Texas and thought about you: http://dallas.craigslist.org/sdf/msg/1969824658.html

The Deluxe Blackout Telecaster is a super steal for the price and how versatile it is. That was my first ever electric guitar and I still regret having gotten rid of it. It is a super value and a great Tele.

 

[gretschbigsby]

Thanks guys... I ended up finding an Esquire with a big honking neck. It is kind of an All Parts/Seymour Duncan beast, but it screams Fender!

I forgot just how much fun the bridge pickup of a Tele can be. Just remarkable-- noting like it.

I'll probably be selling the F-30R to pay for it!

I am fully into the tele thing, too. I had a custom tele made locally and picked it up a few weeks ago. I can truthfully state that I have not picked up another guitar since. I hope to post a big-time twangy recording soon to demo the guitar.

Oh, man... you are twisting my arm.

(I changed the photo. Didn't like the feet, and I think I like this picture better)

Man that thing is beautiful.... even with your toes showing. :lol:
I want a guitar with my last name on the headstock now!!!!
