magicmarco Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) [font=Arial][size=2]Hi,[/size][/font] For sale is this stunning 2001 Fender Classic Series 50's Telecaster in White Blonde Finish. This finish looks superb as you can still see the woodgrain through it, it has a maple neck and black scratchplate. The guitar is in fantastic condition, there is a small mark which I have photogrpahed on the last picture but this effects the guitar in no way. Serial Number MZ1154101 Included in the sale is the original white scratch plate, a plain rectangular hardcase and a gig bag. WAS £500 NOW £400 WITH EXTRAS Thanks [attachment=102277:DSCN0523.jpg][attachment=101730:DSCN0349.JPG][attachment=101729:DSCN0350.JPG][attachment=101732:DSCN0347.JPG][attachment=101735:DSCN0345.JPG][attachment=101733:DSCN0348.JPG][attachment=101734:DSCN0344.JPG][attachment=101731:DSCN0346.JPG] Edited April 24, 2012 by magicmarco

I was wondering how the price had been decided on by the seller? Nice looking guitar though, I would be tempted to make a sensible offer, but I doubt it would be what you were after. best of luck with a sale.
Jono Bolton Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Looks a nice guitar but my old flatmate only got £250 when he sold his 03 MIM Tele a year or so ago.

magicmarco Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Selling this for the guitarist in my band who told me to put it up at that and see how it goes, I have not done any research at all so appreciate the feedback. I guess it will go to the highest bidder providing our guitarist is happy with it. Offers welcome
mike257 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Aye, it's a lovely looking guitar, and I'd be tempted myself if I had the spare cash, but he's got his wires crossed on the pricing there. Didn't mean to say anything inappropriate or break any rules, just pointed out the price of a brand new one for comparison. His asking price is more like a typical used price for a Fender [i]American[/i] Standard rather than a Mexican Standard one like this, so could have been a simple mistake on his part when checking out the going rate, no harm done!
andy67 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi +1 for all the other guys comments. However, it is in superb condition and if you look at the body, it has that sort of see through washed out look about which would indicate, possibly, a classic series?? Definitely do more research because I've seen the Mexican standard series go for around £200 - £300 dependent on condition. Will do a little myself to try and help out. a.
andy67 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I'm sure it is one of the 50's classic series: http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php?partno=0131202303 with just change of scratchplate. Check it out with your guitarist because if it is ... that adds a few more quid to it. good luck a.

merello Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 For being a Classic Series - Ser No on back and not front of headstock Against - bridge is wrong unless it has been upgraded to brass. Not a standard though I think.
magicmarco Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Hi, Thanks for doing some research, he confirmed that it did have a white scratch plate which he thinks he still has, so certainly is a 50's classic series. Thanks again
andy67 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Good stuff! Like you, Morello, the bridge was a giving me a bit a problem too. However, the string tree is on the button as is the finish. Realistically, £350 is a fair price, pushing £400 if in pristers condition. a.
andy67 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 [quote name='magicmarco' timestamp='1331230138' post='1569979'] 400 ono bump [/quote] Remember you will need to be absolutely sure it is a classic 50s telecaster and provide absolute proof to any potential purchaser. If your guitarist bought it new? He should have the accompanying glossary for proof. best of luck a.
Gilby Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Correct vintage tuners too, pretty certain brass saddles are standard, if not, it's a common "upgrade". Five screw guard is correct style although "mint" white is the original colour not black. Also a standard Mexican tele would have a modern six saddle bridge which I'm certain the traditional bridge we have here isn't a direct replacement size wise. Im pretty sure a swap would leave screw holes showing. (I'm quite into telecasters). So a fifties reissue mexican tele new is around £500.
bigd1 Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 It seems not very clear to me, what is the price you are asking for this guitar ?
