Members lewzer Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Up for sale is a MIK Fender Goldtop HH Telecaster. I acquired this one in a trade with a fellow HC member a couple of years ago. It's easily one of the best MIK guitars I've ever come across. To the best of my knowledge, these were a special run Musicians Friend only model. I would assume they're quite similar to the current Fender FMT HH Telecasters, only the Gold Top has Dimarzio pickups instead of Duncans. Also, the Goldtop looks WAY better! I *think* these have mahogany bodies with maple necks. The back has a very dark red-ish see-through finish and a VERY nicely sculpted heel. The overall condition of this guitar is very good. The only blemish is a very small dent/ding on the middle of the lower horn (on the gold top, not the side). There is still a bit of residue where a LP-style Rhythm/Treble ring was installed around the pickup selector. I think it can be cleaned off, I just never bothered to try. I'm only selling this in order to clear out a bit of space before I move away from college. I also could use some extra cash to take care of some bills. That being said, I'm still stubborn enough to be open to any trade offers you may have, especially a Fender CP Jaguar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lewzer Posted August 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 Strat in sig? That looks nice. I'm a bit weary when it comes to partscasters, but I'll keep that one in mind. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted August 18, 2010 Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 I had the Strat version of this about 3 years ago, but it came with Fender humbuckers. Someone oughtta grab this one...... Really struggling to NOT find a way to get this guitar! Best Fender I ever laid my hands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lewzer Posted August 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 That's a gorgeous guitar you have there, Lonnie. I wasn't even aware that Fender made a goldtop Strat like that! PM replied! Thanks again, everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lewzer Posted August 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2010 yours....http://adverts.ie/135717 Well that's scary isn't it. Looks like someone used a picture of my guitar in their ad. I posted a NGD using that picture in Feb. 09, and this ad was apparently posted several months later. Thanks for bringing it up. Here is my NGD thread. It's the #2 result if you google "Fender Goldtop HH Telecaster": http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2238153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lewzer Posted August 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 i've got an epi explorer in black with gold hardware if you're interested.. Not really into an Epi Explorer at the moment. Thanks for the offer though. Over the last couple of days i've REALLY gotten interested in the Fender Classic Player HH Jaguar.

Members Lonnie99 Posted August 21, 2010 Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 I cannot believe this is still here 4 days later. When I saw it I nearly panicked trying to find a fast way to get it, sure that it would only last a few hours. You guys have NO idea how nice this guitar is. I traded my Strat version straight up for a new (at the time) Gibson Faded SG and the other guy was totally happy. I've even tried to sell my 83 LP to fund this but the repaired headstock is scaring people away. Somebody's gonna be really happy they got this.......

I've got a FMT HH tele, which, like he said is basically the same guitar but not gold top, and was in shock at how well it played for the price. I think it freakin kills all of similarly priced guitars i've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted August 21, 2010 Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 Best of both worlds as well as the gold tops have all mahogany bodies with set necks and dual humbuckers. Slap some Gibsons in it and you've got a Fender shaped LP. That's a GOOD thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lewzer Posted August 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 21, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words. I'm actually surprised it's still available too. I may have to head over to eBay soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daveborn2rock Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 I may have to head over to eBay soon. That statement fits your avatar If I had the money I'd buy it. I was actually lusting after the spalted maple version for a while and finally decided to just build my own with some modifications. It's in the finishing stages right now. Can never go wrong with a gold top though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
