Fender CS telecaster 52 tangerine
I've been looking at these recently and maybe have the opportunity to buying one second hand. What's a ball park that if interested you'd be willing to offer for it. I always seem to pay more if I like them rather than what they are actually going for.

No Telecaster is worth more than 3 figures, we are just dumb enough to pay for the hype
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Sounds like internet wisdom to me :p. You think a Trussarts can be manufactured, marketed and onsold under $1k?sizzlingbadger wrote:No Telecaster is worth more than 3 figures, we are just dumb enough to pay for the hype
How about a CS Tele, with select woods, a highly skilled (and therefore high waged) luthier or two involved, and expensive electrics?
I call BS on the whole 'two slabs of wood' tale. Yes they're structurally simple. So is an SG. But the inputs (expertise, wood, electrics, path to market) means they do cost a bit. In the same way an Epiphone dot isn't a CS 335, a Squier ain't a CS Tele. Not saying $4-8k is a realistic price, but sub $1k ain't either.

Re: Fender CS telecaster 52 tangerine
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.MrDINO wrote:I've been looking at these recently and maybe have the opportunity to buying one second hand.

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.

My Nocaster was worth every cent of the $4k I shouldn't have sold it for.

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.

Re: Fender CS telecaster 52 tangerine
I've owned a few Strats ranging from Japanese to US standards 70s to CS models. Price ranges all over the place as well. The one I liked the most Null Pointer has. It has a well balance platform of tone through all the pickup selections without much volume drop and no ice picky stuff. Nice accoustic resonance. Also happened to be the most expensive I'd owned. Not sure whether that's got much to do with it but it was worth it imho...2csizzlingbadger wrote:No Telecaster is worth more than 3 figures, we are just dumb enough to pay for the hype

Easily, the chinese could likely make them for $30-$40, maybe less!null_pointer wrote:You think a Trussarts can be manufactured, marketed and onsold under $1k?

They could bottle milk for 5c per 2L too, you want to drink it though?

If new = 6K
Then let used = 4K
Minus tangerine = 3.5K
Plus random(NZ) = 3200 +/- 500
