There was only one of these guitars that came to NZ. I agonized over buying. It was the finest Tele I ever laid my hands on, but I couldn't really afford it at the time. As I was humming and hahing over it, someone else bought it. To this day I regret not just doing it.

If the one you have the opportunity to buy is the one that was here in NZ. BUY IT!!!!!!!!! There is magic in that guitar.

I think anything up to NZ$3,500 would be fair.
I think that's the one. Has had magic word used around it. Haven't had the opportunity to play it. Might be around 4K so thinking on it. Lot of gold
Don't think. Just do. It's an incredible guitar. Oh.....as long as you are OK with a MASSIVE neck.

I spent a couple of hours with that guitar in the Rockshop. It was upward of $6k IIRC. As Matt says, it was wonderful and I loved the look. Afterwards, I picked up a Nocaster and put it down after a minute or so. Might not have been the best Nocaster ever made but anyone who knows me, knows what a huge endorsement that is.

The Tangerine looks fabulous in the flesh! :thumbup: Honest.
