WHAT ?!

It's a fluffing pickguard ! Anyone willing to pay that much just to have an 'authentic' instrument has more money than sense.

Nearly as mad as this one...

fools and their money...

What happened to the instruments they came off, that's what I'd like to know.

Like he said, its rare, The Esquire turned into the Telecaster i think. maybe he has other bits and can get more selling them that way. mind you, you need an Esquire to put the pickguard on!

[The Burpster]

Even if it is genuine..... he must've been sniffing lines of something if he expects to get that for it!

surely??

Kinda. I think the story goes that the 2 pickup Esquire became the Broadcaster (then the "No-caster" then the Telecaster), and the Esquire name was retained for the single pickup version. Hence this pickguard has no hole in it for a neck pickup.

You'd think the rob dog would at least include delivery at the price, £6.00 indeed.... pfffh..

That's it, I'm going to start selling "Peckham Spring" water.

What a joker, he knows he's taking the piss, he's just hoping that there's a small chance some gullible rich fool has more money than sense

Come on be honest - even with a major lottery win you just wouldn't.
There are things I'd buy if I suddenly became hugely wealthy but I still would hate to be ripped off. I know a thing is supposed to only be worth what someone will pay for it but these examples are just silly.
