Mark / @guitars4you is a bad enabler... and by bad of course I mean excellent. Answered my inane questions with grace as always.

Bring on Tuesday!

Yes. That is wicked

 Very nice looking Telecaster. I’ve got an Esquire partscaster in a similar colour.

I saw that guitar on Mark’s stand at the recent Manchester show - it looks even better in flesh!

I saw the price the other day and that was crazy money. Lake placid is my favourite fender colour

Hard to beat a bit of sparkle!

Mines gone as well.

You guys are killing me!  I have to keep telling myself "my Squier Tele is a real good guitar" and "eleven guitars is enough" and "how much credit is ;left on my credit card"......

Ooh that's really tasty, very nice indeed. The best things don't come in sales anyway, so smart move

@Whitecat I wonder how many of these were made in same spec. I was in GAK Brighton a couple of years ago and tried the exact model, was £3k+ irrc. Was an excellent guitar and neck a joy to play. Happy ngd

This is a 2017-specific limited run so may vary slightly in spec from an older one... there are still a few kicking about, Coda and PMT (at least) have them in both different and same colour...

Basic interesting things about this edition are the hand wound Twisted Tele pickups, a 10/56V riftsawn neck and the B5. Journeyman relic aged blue sparkle finish over offset-seam ash. Jumbo 6100 frets, 9.5” radius. Great spec IMO, will sound huge...

Blimey, that's a bit spesh!
