Fender Custom Shop Relic Telecaster

[alanbass1]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Up for trade is my Fender Custom Shop '58 re-issue relic telecaster. This is a 2008 limited edition in white see thru blonde. Equipped with a Nocaster bridge pick up and twisted tele neck pick up, a soft V neck and heavy relic finish. Comes complete with case, COA and ashtray bridge cover and strap. [/size][/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]This is a great playing and sounding guitar but as I also have an original '56 tele and a DeTemple tele I thought I'd see if there is any interest in trading for a bass. [/size][/font]

A little bump

Stunning one, this - I bet she sounds amazing.

I don't think I could part with one like this, looks like a lifer to me!

[alanbass1]

Thanks, she does sound and play great, but I have an original '56 and a DeTemple so this doesn't get played - which is a shame

[Schnozzalee]

Chunky V necks have to be my fave, I don't mind U necks either - really beautiful guitar (especially the bodygrain!!) looks comfy

[johnbiffa]

Now what is obviously missing from your collection is an exceptional Gibson EB3 lovingly refinished and set up by the one and only Bass Doc of this parish !

Could that be of interest?

I'm pretty open minded but the ideal would be a Custom Shop or Bravewood Jaco bass

[johnbiffa]

Is there a sell price?

[alanbass1]

Reckon that no-one will pay cash on what I think she is worth which is why I'm looking at trading - this cost me £2,400 in 2009 and I wouldn't sell for less than £1800

[Schnozzalee]

Out of interest, what is the fretwire and radius on this model?

[alanbass1]

Features include a heavy relic'd lightweight 2-piece lightweight ash body, thin skin nitro Nocaster blonde finish, '57 style soft "V" shape maple neck, 9.50" radius, Dunlop 6105 jumbo frets, '51 Nocaster bridge pickup, Twisted Tele® neck pickup, 3-way switch, 1-ply white pickguard and aged chrome hardware

Not that the 7.5" radius is a problem on a Tele (frets seem higher than on a strat) it's far better having the flatter 9.5" radius for playability. I have a G&L where the V neck profile is the same all along whereas the Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster Reissue went from a V to a C profile behind the higher frets (both very nice indeed) but which is your tele like?

[alanbass1]

It's a soft V that morphs into a C shape as you get further up the neck. Feels great and sounds even better, man I love tele's

I also have a Marshall Class 5 amp in very nice condition (home use only) that I could throw in with the Tele for the right bass

Looking for a real nice fretless or possibly a Pino P Bass. If you have a vintage bass I have other real nice gear and some cash to make a deal
