| A GREAT INEXPENSIVE GUITAR IN TRULY EXCELLENT SHAPE
I bought this Special Edition Black & Chrome Squier Standard Telecaster last spring for my son in the hopes that he might catch the "guitar bug", but it never happened. He picked it up about three times since I bought it, so when it's been played, it's been me doin' the playing. I have several other guitars and another on the way, so it's time to sell this AMAZINGLY GOOD inexpensive instrument. Bought brand new in March '06, making it just under a year old. Has never left my home (smoke-free) and doesn't have more than 25 hours of playing time on it. Only blemishes are a very light amount of pick scratches on the pickguard, one small gouge in the rear along the bottom edge, and a very light scratch about 2" long on the back (visible in one of the photos). Easily a 9 out of 10 for condition. The most amazing feature of this guitar is its neck. I had played some other Squiers and wasn't expecting much, but this neck feels and plays just great. No "fret sprout", like many of the cheaper Squiers have. The overall quality and workmanship are every bit as good as I've seen on MIM Tele's selling for 2 - 3 times as much. Holds a tune very well, and has been professionally set up. This was a special model released in 2004, and goes for $200 new at the big music outlets--a super value at that price. The only modification from stock is that I put better pickups in it--a set of brand new Hot Vintage Tele p'ups that are used in the Highway 1 Texas Tele, a US-made Fender model. The bridge in particular has a real nice bite to it. Paid $75 for 'em on eBay last May. Interested parties may purchase this guitar in either of two configurations: the guitar and an unused gig bag, with the upgraded pickups and the original ones for $189 plus shipping cost to your location (US & Canada only). Or, I'll take out the Hot Vintage p'ups and reinstall the stock ones, and you can have it for $139 + shipping. Or take your chances bidding, and run the risk of losing the guitar completely or the bidding going up over the "buy it now" price. NOTE: In several of the photos, there are lots of little white flecks visible against the guitar body--these are just reflections of the flash off specks of dust. Believe me, this guitar is clean as a whistle except for the couple of very minor blemishes mentioned above! Here's the manufacturer's description of the guitar: Standard Tele features and a snazzed-up look. |
