Odd burst pattern, but still H.O.T!  Rosewood fretboard + double bound = win.

'Tis a thing of beauty.....Totally Hawt!

Hot tele.  Me likee. 

[jpnyc]

Meh. Ever since I got a Les Paul I just look at Fenders and wonder why they don

[Ancient Mariner]

It's an odd, old tele. Not hot - just expensive.

[JRicoC]

As mentioned, the burst is "odd", but it's still hot ...

[jimash]

Yeah I like this one

[Tone Deaf]

I like it.

[Alecto]

It's hot but I suspect it's not the greatest player.  The cleaner ones rarely are.

The "there's a reason this one got shoved under a bed" theory.

I agree that the burst is strange looking.

I like teles, but I don't like that.  Weird, can't get past the ugly burst combined with the rosewood fretboard.

Probably kept in the case due to the embarrassingly ugly finish. Meh for me.
