How much would you pay...

[thor666]

Doing a short survey, which may translate into action, so help me out here.

1. Do you want to get a second-hand American telecaster (not Highway 1)? (No/Now/Soon/In the future)
2. How much would you pay for it? (Prices for mint/some cosmetic flaws/lots of cosmetic flaws)
3. What features are you looking at? (Maple or Rosewood fretboard/S-S or H-S or S-H or H-H/Color)

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Raymond

1. In the future
2. $700/$600/500
3. Maple/ SS pups (rails)

 

[thor666]

[shyamalan]

3)S/S .

1. Yes, one which sports an ash body, the Highway1 Texas Tele might be a possibility (note: despite the H1 availability here, nobody bothered with the Texas Tele version...)

2. willing to buy = willing to pay the required amount

3. not a feature fanatic, something good playing, good sounding will do

H1 Texas Tele...

 

[teleholic]

don't really see the H1's in sweelee arnd..where are they usually placed sub? interested in checking out a H1 upgrade tele, to check out the jumbo fretwire..

 

[subversion]

the latest H1 incarnation aren't here yet, i'm still waiting too...

 

[leecs]

i wont get a telecaster because i don like it! :lol: :lol:

 

[shyamalan]

thats quite common.

I am TOTALLY stuck on telecasters.

 

[Qkumba]

no offence, but i'll probably never get a telecaster for reasons liable to it's tone, or the lack thereof. :?

 

[thor666]

Aggressive negative response noted. :lol:

Any more opinions? I must say I'm quite surprised that buyers are only willing to pay so much when a peek at the Guitar - Sale forum shows sellers going for at least $200 to $800 more than buyer expectation.

quote Qkumba: no offence, but i'll probably never get a telecaster for reasons liable to it's tone, or the lack thereof.

example being...?

 

[remy]

Yes
1.2k
H/H

 

[edder]

1. No
2. Kinda silly cos I'm not buyin but then... 900/700/500
3. Maple/H-S/Blonde or Mary Kaye white

 

[Everdying]

2nd hand or new doesnt matter as long as its a good deal.
the only guitar that i've bought brand new was my first like a long long time ago.
price? not more than $1k in at least 8/10 condition.

rosewood board (prefer ebony tho fender doesnt offer that option )
color sunburst or nothing at all.

uhh, H only with OFR

 

[sumerdae]

ha you must be missing out on a WHOLE lot then , if you say they lack tone..

 

[Weiht]

lack of tone??? 8O 8O 8O

Try brad paisley's tele tone... nice

 

[shyamalan]

epitome. Not everyone likes the tele tone , smaller congregation , more appreciation.

It all started when i was 15-16 years old , hanging out at WMUM , JonChan was playing his butter tele , and his orange/yellow shirt matched his guitar pretty well. Surreal was jamming i guess , Glenn ( with his naked gibson les paul ) , JohnChiong ( super big fender bass )and Darren (blue car racing shirt, looks so toshiba ) was in too.
Its a long story la , but thats how my tele love started. Sold off my yamaha pac112J to get a TL-43. 8) No regrets , big neck profile is my only complaint , and the queerness to palm mute at the bridge.

 

[teleholic]

yup..know what you mean..once you catch the tele bug there's no stopping..it's just downhill from the 1st tele you buy..can't play anything else anymore without feeling wierd..

After owning 4 strats, I'd think I like to have a Tele. Can't think of what other Strats I'd like to own. :lol:

1. No. I prefer brand new.
2. I'd pay up to $3k for a brand new one.
3. Must have a double bound body, S-S config, 60s C shaped neck. Preferably maple, but you never know. :roll: Probably black, or Sunburst...

Here's one that's nice:

Andy Summers anyone?

There IS one, which costs $8k, and is pretty much what I like in terms of sound and feel. It's the 1967 Firemist Silver Tele at Swee Lee, but I refuse to pay the Custom Shop price tag. :evil:
