I purchased this guitar new from PMT quite some time back.

The guitar is all original and in superb condition.













It's like new apart from very small mark in the fret board (pictured) and signs of shop use/home practice on the black plastic pick guard, as you would expect (probably would polish out if you were so inclined as they are very light).

Used only for occasional practice, pet free/smoke free home.

Really like the finish and neck on this one. It has a chunky fat neck, that is actually quite flamed in the right light. The wood grain, showing through the paint really drew me to this guitar and the S1 switching system provides for a range of tones.

I may be wrong, but I believe the new 50's Vintera Modified Telecasters are similar, more or less, for a lot more money. With the Vintera models, you don't get the USA pickups or custom neck shape. Feel free to correct me in the comments if i'm wrong here.

Cheap, no frills Black Rat Gig Bag included, although I can leave this out if you have surplus of these knocking about. 

£529 ovno + postage costs (I would prefer collection in person).

    Do you know how much it weighs?  I've read mention that some of these can be on the heavy side, so just wondering.
