WTB something from 1972..
What's Hot
It was a fine vintage, in no small part because that's when I was born, and I think I deserve a birthday present :-)
Looking for electrics/semis only and not crazy expensive i.e. less than or around a grand (it's a relative term I know) and no lower limit, happy with something 'interesting' !
Am a fan of Japanese brands and hopeful there's something knocking around out there.
So, whatcha got??

We're living in the future, although there's less rocket packs than I expected.
Japanese stuff sounds like a good call though. Tokai breezy sound, etc Have you tried Whitstable guitars? (No connection).

Might be worth emailing Rob.
@jellyroll that website is a great find, can't believe I haven't stumbled across it before, nothing in the magic year yet but I'll drop him a line.
@Funkfingers I'll give @HarrySeven a PM, thanks
@Dominic oh my, I love me a goldtop, do let me know please!
LP/335 preferred (sorted for strats) but anything considered!
Way over budget but currently GASing fruitlessly after this <sigh> -

The Tele deluxe would be my pick, but more like 2k.
My birth year too!
If nothing interesting turns up you could always buy a 72 tele reissue and upgrade the pickups.
This is in the states, unfortunately.

There are probably loads of interesting Japanese guitars from that period but I'd guess it's quite hard to pin them down to a specific year, the info online about serial numbers etc is fairly limited and it's pretty difficult to even tell one model from another.
And I may be wrong here, but my impression would be that the really good MIJ stuff came along a bit later, late '70s, early '80s and beyond (ah, I see @streethawk has already said something similar).
It's a tough one.
And is your neck through-the-body or bolt-on?
And I draw the line at buckle rash..
My neck- I guess I'm a through construction.
At least you didn't ask about the size of my wang bar.
