FS/FT SOLD..Fender Vintage Hot Rod 52 Telecaster. Callaham Upgraded

tone1

Hi all..NOW SOLD
Up for grabs is a wonderful Fender FSR Telecaster I've just picked up from John_r of this very parish..Unfortunately as good as it is, I find the Neck a bit on the chunky side for my lady like hands..so it's back up for grabs very reluctantly.
I have added a Callaham bridge and Callaham brass saddles (as I had them to hand)  with an extra set of Callaham stainless steel ones included for you to try if required. The original Fender bridge and saddles are also included.
John had already carried out a mod to the pots and caps to make the neck humbucker more balanced with the bridge single coil. The original wiring loom is also included.
comes with all hang tags, an un-opened manual and lead and leather strap.
Being in South Devon makes it difficult to try out some guitars before taking the plunge but this might be the last one I buy without trying first. Comes with Fender G&G hardcase which has one mark on it. 

Right, enough chat and embarrassment over....price wise I can do one of two things.
1. £950 posted with the Callaham removed and the Fender bridge back on..
2. £995 posted with the Callaham bridge fitted with the brass saddles on and Stainless Callaham as spare and original Fender bridge.
3. If you are collecting and don't want/need the case I'll knock £100 off each price or £25 off if you need the case..South Devon but could make Exeter for a meet up?
Oh nearly forgot..I gave @photek 1st dibs

Oh sorry to hear you didn't get on with the neck tony, it is a proper U shape beast. GLW the sale, it is a fantastic tele!

Thanks John..it's almost ES 335 like with the Neck humbucker

Surprise me! You never know....I did say that it might be my last guitar bought unseen but GAS is a cruel Mistress

It should be a bit less chunky than a 50s Tele.

As lovely as that is, it's probably not for me ta

Hi, I was the original intended buyer of this guitar until I damaged my elbow and had to pull out. I'm still in the market and have just (reluctantly) listed my 2016 Gibson Firebird Limited Edition with Lyre Tail Vibrola, practicality mint with case and candy for £1300. Anything we can do in a trade?

@Hustler ;
I'll PM you..

Would a 62 reissue SG (nice slim 60's profile neck) be of interest? I have since this replaced the bridge with a nickel Faber which looks great.  http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/97234/fs-withdrawn-gibson-sg-1962-reissue-2009#latest. I'm in Dorset

@HoraceB   Thanks, I'll take a look...

@Gabriel Thanks for the offer, it's a beauty for sure..but probably not for me ta.

I would happy take the Callaham steel saddles if that ever becomes an option.

@Zoolooter    I'll bear you in mind
