Re: Nice Tele on Ebay, but just a tad overpriced...

Re: Nice Tele on Ebay, but just a tad overpriced...

i just want the neck, i love the deluxe necks with the chrome fender logos...they look better IMO and play great!! that guy pats-guitars tends to have cool stuff like that i almost bought his last tele he had up bt he pulled the auction b/c his son wanted it lol...a bit pricey though as you said.

I could tell from the first pic it was not a Fender. Yeah, I'd say a bit overpriced! You could probably have two made for that price!

Definitely, it's a sharp tele but you could make your own a LOT cheaper.

WAY overpriced...

....and I may be in the minority here but I find that cut of Koa to be butt-ugly.

I think I'd prefer straight up swamp ash :). I'm also not sure about a non-pickguard tele, maybe I'm TOO traditional though ;).

He might be able to get someone to pay that price if it was a Fender Custom shop job or something.

Did some research on it.. You could put that exact same guitar together by yourself for between $900-$1100, Fender Deluxe neck and all.

Well, no wonder over half of the auction time has run out with no bids! :laugh2:

This is towards the bottom of the LENGTHY description:

"This guitar is not priced cheaply, nor should it be. The Fender components are all top of the line and the extraordinary Fender-Licensed 5-A Flamed Koa topped ash body is a one-of-a-kind custom-built piece. This Telecaster is a labor of love. You could not acquire the parts alone for my opening bid. It plays like a dream and sounds like heaven; befitting the amazing appearance. It is really very hard to put any appropriate price on something so fine and rare; nevertheless my opening bid is well under most of the Custom Shop instruments that could not hold a candle to this Flamed Koa American Deluxe Fat Telecaster."

I wish all sellers could post pics like that.
That is one of the most beautiful Tele's I have ever seen.
Rock On :smoker:
