Nice tele! Although... the decal was definitely applied at 4.30 on a Friday

Have not seen a Tele before with spaghetti logo and f series neckplate. Nice buy for a player, or margin for a dealer.

You could buy a new one for that!

I had factored that in, though worth pointing out. I wouldn't be unhappy to have paid that. I would expect a dealer to be asking £8-9k ish. I would say it's a win for the buyer (assuming it's great to play of course!!)

The spaghetti logo would definitely concern me - it’s a late ‘65 guitar based on the rest of their description - so it should definitely have a ‘transition’ logo by then. It may be legit - but it ‘shouldn’t’ have that mix of features, if it’s original.

Spaghetti-logo esquires go as late as '67. Interesting to look it up in the Duchossior book later

Just done exactly that - I stand corrected - spaghetti through to end of ‘65 on Teles. Every day’s a school day!
