Four characterful T-styles - £350 each, P&P included

Modellista

Even though all these are awesome, I need to get numbers down to a manageable level.

£350 is what you'd pay for a decent but generic used Mexican Telecaster.  These are for anyone who's looking for something a bit different, with more personality.

I'm tempted by the Zebrawood one and the P90 Esquirey one.  Very tempted.

Modellista

You know you want to.  Could do a multi-buy discount as well.

Videos of them in action: ('scuse the crotch shot.  Occupational hazard.)

A great set of teles!

It was a toss up between the 2nd and 3rd until I saw the trem one. Liking that a lot! (I'm afraid that I don't buy guitars any more though).

Those first three nearly made me do a sex wee! Wonderful looking guitars. 
Good thing (for my marriage & bank balance) you're quite far away! 

Good luck with the sales.

What does the selector switch do on the green one, please? Zebra one looks ace and nice playing too.

Heh!  Distance no object, I trust Mr P Force to get these to you in once piece, I'll even send them for free I've just decided.

Thanks for the compliment!

The effect of the switch is subtle, if I'm honest.  I think it's standard Esquire wiring:

(copied from Premier Guitar:)

• Position #1. This corresponds to the solo bridge-pickup position on a Tele. On the Esquire, however, the pickup is routed through the volume control only, with the tone control bypassed for a hotter and louder lead sound with even more high-end.

• Position #2. In this middle setting, the Esquire’s pickup is routed through the volume and tone control—identical to position #1 on a standard Telecaster. It sounds a bit warmer compared to the Esquire’s #1 position.

• Position #3. Here, the tone control is again bypassed and the Esquire’s pickup is routed through the volume control and a fixed “treble roll-off ” capacitor/resistor network for a very dark tone that also has a slightly decreased output. Leo intended this as a “bass preset” that would allow the ’50s guitar player to enter bass territory by simply flipping the 3-way switch.

This is a pic of the wiring, maybe someone like @ICBM or similar will know exactly what's going on here:

Very nice. I particularly like 1 and 4, but I’m also in the position of needing to reduce, rather than increase my guitar count.

Modellista

Tell me about it!

New year bump for these lovelies!

Just seen these, I do like the P90 esquire... Oh.... and number 4. A tele with a trem!!

The Cheri has had a lot of interest, I predict that will be the next to go.

Zebra and Butser on hold pending the usual.

If the Buster falls through can you let me know?

The first one has a chunky neck, what about the others?

Will, do, buyer has gone a bit quiet pre-payment TBH.

Could you tell me what the heck is like? And the fretwork?

Best thing is I do a short video so you can see the whole thing in more detail. Hopefully I can get this done tonight. You’ve probably spotted the gallery link in the description, there’s a few more photos there.
