Desopolis Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 how much should it be? theres a few more on there, but they have alot of time left.. I saw a 62 seafoam strat go for somthing like that, but it was perfect in every way, even had the original case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 No, I suppose that a '59 Tele in good - excellent condition might be worth that price, but this one has at the very least had the neck pickup, the pickguard and the bridge replaced, and the electronics look suspiciously modern as well (can't really tell much from the photo, but I'm sure none of the '59s used a ceramic disc cap). '59s also had the infamous top-loaded bridge, while this body is drilled for a string-thru (although I suppose if it's a very late '59, that would be possible). In other words, the neck may be from a '59, but this guitar is no more a stock '59 than I am a Balinese diplomat! I guess that's what he forgot to put in the listing. For reference, this is what a real '59 Tele looks like: '59 Fender Telecaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm pretty sure the guitar has been rewired, therefore , not original. Stock wiring was cloth insulation (cotton) right up to 1967, not plastic insulation like in the pictures. You can pick it apart at the Fender Vintage site and likely find other stuff.

NamelessOne Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 is there supposed to be a "patent applied for" sticker on the bottom of a tele single coil? I thought that the PAFs were gibson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's definitely a parts-o-caster. The only thing that may have come from 1959 is the neck, and that's in pretty rough shape too. Especially since it's been drilled for non-bushing tuners and the nut is non-existant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 is there supposed to be a "patent applied for" sticker on the bottom of a tele single coil? I thought that the PAFs were gibson... PAF stands for "Patent Applied For" It can be used on any pickup design whos patent has been applied for.
