Members chiro972 Posted March 22, 2009 Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 I needed this like a hole in the head, but it was a great deal I thought. 2007 Classic 60's tele. MF sells em for $940 (it's nice, but not THAT nice) Anyway this was a NOS, never been sold that I found for $425. Plays sweet although I'm gonna have to get used to the vintage frets and 7.25" radius. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but the wife got to keep the digital cam.

Members chiro972 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 wow! 4 paws! I'm honored. It is a mint pickguard, but the protective film was still on it. I have it apart now changing the old strings and I'm gonna go get some extra fine steel wool for the frets and restring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tweedledee Posted March 22, 2009 Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 Congrats! That color combo is one of my favorites on those MIM 60s Teles. Given the Fender price increases, $425 is a steal. Even before the price increase that would have been a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Saturn Posted March 22, 2009 Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 Very nice! I'm sure you'll get used to the vintage frets and the neck radius. It didn't take me long to get used to them on my tele with that neck profile. The hot chick say she likes the Tele! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chiro972 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Grats, where did you buy it from? Found it on craigslist. There are still some bargains to be had out there. I really shouldn't have gotten it, but I'm really pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chiro972 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Question for those who might still look at this. i've never had a heel adjust neck like this. Can I adjust the truss rod by just taking off the pick guard or do I need to remove the whole neck to do so? There is a notch in the wood above the neck pup, so theoretically I might be able to get a big flat screwdriver in there, but is that the proper way to do it? Thanks for all the compliments.
