There is a guy on CL who's selling one for $300 and its got texas specials and an awesome paint job.. Whatcha think?? You are talking Tele, right? That's a very fair price if it's in really good shape. If all you need is a neck, that would put you in the $550-$600 total range. Not bad at all. Atrox quoted me a new Allparts body for $200 even, which is the best deal I could find, and I'd still have to put in PUs and hardware. Again, $300 is very good if it's in excellent shape.

Members scolfax Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Here's one in mint shape going for $500 from a reputable seller - so $300 sounds like a good deal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 I paid $770 for the whole '62 tele new so it sounds like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Do all of the 62's Reissues have the 3 vintage string sadles like the blue tele?? The seller's tele has 6 sadles, kinda like a more modern tele has.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Looks like he replaced the bridge. I only put on different saddles _after_ taking those pics so what you see is stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hardtdc Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Err.. Fail then?Here's the ad for ithttp://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/736829892.html Doesn't mean it's bad. I've got a 6-barrel bridge on my Vintage Modified Thinline and I love it. It intonates wonderfully. You could always change it out for a brass 3-barrel later if you wanted. I still think 3 bills is good. The art work doesn't do anything for me, but to each their own. If he had kept it in all white, he probably would be able to get a lot more for it IMHO.
