Me And My Bass Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Bought this as a back up geetar in the band, not seeing much use these days - [/font][/size] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Original advert - [/font][/size] [color=#000000]Here I have for sale my latest tele meadium/heavy relic project. It is finished in Fiesta Red. It has a vintage Fender Spaghetti logo applied.[/color] [color=#000000]I have relic'd it by adding wear to the usual places. It is fitted with a single ply black guard. The hardware is nicely aged using a reverse plating process. As you can see the guitar also has vintage style 3 saddle top loader ashtray bridge, which, as I have said is aged and looks great. I have added a Fender Custom Shop logo to the back of the headstock. [/color] [color=#000000]It has a maple neck with added finger wear and it is very comfortable to play having a great low action. I have set the guitar up by, adjusting the truss rod, action and intonation. Machine heads are modern fully enclosed Gotoh style and are tight and smooth in operation.[/color] [color=#000000]I have fitted a genuine Fender Tex Mex Special pickup to the bridge. This is the hotter option when you buy a new Mexican Fender and I had it sent from the States. It is much more like a P90 in construction being overwound and having double magnets with the pole pieces running in between. It measures around 10.5k ohms on my meter so it is a hot one and really sings when cranked up. It is also scatter wound to maintain strong trebles.[/color] [color=#000000]It is wired like a 1950's Esquire:[/color] [color=#000000]Switch in rear position - Fixed treble with no tone control[/color] [color=#000000]Switch in middle position - Full tone control[/color] [color=#000000]Switch in front position - Fixed bass with no tone control[/color] [color=#000000]The guitar body is solid wood and is no back breaker.[/color] [color=#000000]Sounds fantastic through my modded valve amp, nice and comfortable to play. [/color] [color=#000000]A real tone machine with plenty of bite and grunt. [/color] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]Great wee guitar, tons of tone. [/color][color=#000000]Looking for [s]£175[/s] £140. Paypal (gift) or Bank transfer please. Guitar in Glasgow if you want to try it out.[/color][/font][/size] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]Cheers.[/color][/font][/size] [attachment=112393:$(KGrHqF,!gsE+NC))rm1BP2F(oEIB!~~60_12.jpg][attachment=112394:$(KGrHqV,!l0E+GVJZSTSBP2F(93+Y!~~60_12.jpg][attachment=112395:$(KGrHqV,!nsE-)ZM2BkuBP2FYBZ66w~~60_12.jpg][attachment=112396:$(KGrHqJ,!iQE-bl!ighlBP2F(th7nw~~60_12.jpg] Edited January 10, 2013 by Me And My Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Mariner Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 What's the history on the body & neck, origin etc? The headstock appears to have a bit of funky shaping going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1341778849' post='1724104'] What's the history on the body & neck, origin etc? The headstock appears to have a bit of funky shaping going on. [/quote] Agreed, I like this guitar a lot but the headstock looks a bit munchy. Maybe carved from a strat or something. What's the deal?
