You'll have to let us know what you think of it

As you say there are plenty of fakes out there but there are also many great and some not so great, all originals. I remember reading about that ex vintage dealer and came to the conclusion that the reason he was an ex vintage dealer, was that he wasn't that clued up.

Is it not just a case of the screws becoming loose? If it is and there's nowt else wrong with the bridge, then perhaps get the strings off, remove the screws, pack the holes with cocktail sticks and glue, refit screws and strings. Good to go for another twenty years

1978 Fender Telecaster Custom and Original Fender Case. PRICE DROPPED TO £2350. £2300 Time to sell this lovely example. It’s in great condition and with the exception of a couple of saddle screws, all original. Although it is often quoted online, that the seventies Fenders are all heavy and poorly put together with sloppy fitting necks etc. this forty year old guitar definitely does not fall in to that category. The neck is a lovely fit in the pocket. The controls work faultlessly. All hardware is present and correct, including the original ash tray/bridge cover. Truss rod functions as it should. The weight is 8lb 6oz. The one piece body looks great. Finish is good with a few dings and buckle rash. The pick guard is all intact, with slight buckling and a scratch, which should all be visible in the photos. The neck is comfortable and the radius is 7.25. Width at nut is 42.25 mm. Frets are still very good, with just a little grooving under the G, to the first few. Tuning, playing and intonation are not affected. The case is in great condition and all latches work perfectly. Plenty of photos attached, which will hopefully show all the details that you need. I looked for a long time to find a good vintage Tele and have been very happy with my purchase. Reason for sale is that I’m only gigging on bass, my guitar playing is just at home, for my own enjoyment and my Tribute G&L is all I really need for that at the moment. Price is £2,450 £2350 which I’m hoping is right given the age and great condition. Collection much preferred, I’m in Herts. If postage is required I will provide a costing to include insurance cover. Cash or Bank Transfer ideally, although I can take Pay Pal payment if you cover the fees. I’m not suggesting friends/family, whereby you get no protection but rather paying slightly more to cover the fees. Happy to discuss this. Any questions, offers, or if additional photos are required just message me.

If I've understood your description properly, then it sounds as though the second from last fret is slightly high. If that's the case then it would need, either tapping back into position, assuming that it has lifted, or filing level and then crowning.

I get to work on a fair few Epiphone guitars. I have found that it's the electronics that let them down. So my advice would be to budget for replacement pots and wire.

This has been a great thread to read whilst enjoying my morning cuppa. Good on yer Nick.

Hanging a person by the neck does the person no good at all but I reckon it's safe for basses.

Have to agree with WOT
