[quote name='flychris' post='857666' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:43 PM'] The defects are on the pictures, so I send to tino focus on them and it consider it is too much for a 95/100 grade. So it is his evaluation, and mine is given by two good shops in Paris ( "custom shop" & "vintage" that quoted this one at 95/100) I just want to be fair because I proposed to send to tino a lot of pictures in order tino knows exactly the condition of the guitar before he requested them and I'm surprised of the reaction. And to complete, I don't know what is a 95/100 grade (shop evaluation) but I consider 80/100 very less for this one.[/quote] Chris So as to close this matter out FINALLY I sought a favour of V&R stateside I sent your pics and you will probably have received my confirmation email...In essence it states 1. My estimation is being VERY generous not only are there the faults I mention but others seem apparent elsewhere on investigation of your photos. 2.This is not as rare as you beleive and they value it as $1800 to $2000 ON A GOOD DAY 3. They have access to one in collector condition for substantially less than you have been led to beleive its worth,albeit without a certificate or accompanying paperworks...... 4.I bought it and come Monday its on its way...... AND I STILL WISH YOU EVERY SUCCESS IN SELLING YOURS See Ya

[size=5 NOT FOR SALE

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='858353' date='Jun 5 2010, 05:43 PM']Hey Tino Sorry... been away for a few days. Yep, I'm thinking of selling, but desperately trying to talk myself out of it. If I decide to, I'll let you know...[/quote] Appreciated Tony

[quote name='Rayman' post='835634' date='May 12 2010, 08:14 PM'] 1992 Gretsch Tennessee Rose, Filtertrons, original case. Stunning guitar in very nice condition for it's age. A few light marks here and there and a couple of small dings but nothing major, and only light rash on the back. Proper F holes not the painted on ones the newer models have. Tone to [i]die[/i] for. The previous owner removed the Bigsby B6C and replaced it with a hard tail which I prefer. These go for well over a grand used, but I'd like £850, and I'll do my best to drive it to you within reason. Beautiful guitar, but I need some cash or another bass, so it has to go.[/quote] Hi Rayman I have passed a link to a freind and hopefully he will get in touch with you...I already have one,else would have been interested.. Cheers and good luck T

I have also never said it was not good and even asked you reconsider your estimate,it is probably ( not garunteed) a very nice instrument to play,but at the end of the day you or I could have a far superior players instrument hand built for less than £2000.And if we are being totally honest then we have to accept Fender CS staff in the main are assemblers of parts not trained Luthiers...I know that given decent quality parts and the facilities I am able to build to at least their standards...unfortunately we drive the market and we inflate the prices.. Ive uploaded the pics you sent to me as they show the most important issues also the others I received when enlarged show what appear to be further issues... T

[quote name='tino' post='857943' date='Jun 5 2010, 08:42 AM']Hi Skez I also have owned a Zion Fifty,however it was nowhere near that money,I think I paid £600,I cannot agree them to be that good either..In fact there seems to have been a whole crop of them available of late..for a truly magnificent telecaster I would suggest you try UK Luthier Paul Waters who makes superb instruments..with Juicy Lucy Pups by Ray Cooper..SUPERB...here I go rambling on.... Back to topic... I'm Looking for either a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout ,speaker size not critical,,or for guitar possibly a Victoria though would also consider Cornells obviously with addition of my cash on the Victoria. But Im willing to listen to offers.. There are amps Ive never tried & maybe not even heard of that you may think would suit my purpose so suggest away,I always listen.. Cheers T[/quote] The Heritage H-575 is currently about to be put up for sale....any interest....Shes 20 years old and a minter...all original ...superb player no faults issues or previous repairs,never modified...this is collector grade.....surplus to my collection....better than the ES 175 IMHO... And I may consider selling the Waters tele as I have access to its twin

[quote name='Hiperi0n' post='857760' date='Jun 4 2010, 10:23 PM']i sent u a pm..did u get it? and what is the asking price for the Gretsch?[/quote] Hi I thought I had replied to you,apologies if I had not....I have it up at £1200 but given the current climate I would accept £1000,this bass is in exceptional condition,has received very little play since purchase.would also exchange it for a MB walkabout scout Cheers T
