Posted - 07/30/2005 : 14:02:40 Hello All,
Sorry to solicit such money making things here, but I wasn't sure where else to put this.
I own a very hard-to-find Fender Contemporary Telecaster (identical to Sir Black Francis' Contemporary Telecaster used when in the Pixies) and have decided to sell it since I don't play it anymore (and to be honest, I only really bought it for the Pixies relation). The only people who I've ever known to play this type of Tele are Frank Black and Doog, so I guess I've been in good company!
It looks like this:

 But it's a silvery-greeny colour. I've never known this type of Tele to be this colour (only known colours have been white, red and black), and I know it's the factory colour, so it's definitely not a refinish. I'll get a picture as soon as I can.
The condition is fantastic for it's age (made around 1984-85, Japan). It has one particular 'ding', but other than that it is immaculate. Hardly any noticable fretware. Straight neck. Has a Floyd Rose locking system. Tremolo bar included. Original Fender Manual also included. Also has a gig-bag.
I'm looking for around £300, but I'll probably put it on ebay tomorrow evening unless I hear from anyone by then.
If you're interested, please email me via my profile.

Posted - 02/03/2007 : 13:42:47 I can't remember, to be honest. I'm assuming around £300, but it might've been a touch less.

Heh, I remember that thread. The exchange rate is very good for buying things from America at the moment. I remember when I bought my first guitar from the USA the exchange rate was about £1=$1.40. Now it's something close to £1=$1.80.
I've just had a fiddle with the Tele and I knew I shouldn't have- I had a brief moment of not wanting to sell it.... It must go, though. I don't play it enough to warrant keeping it, plus I'm going to Paris soon and a little extra money wouldn't go amiss....!
theFILLshow- Contemporary Tele's pop up every couple of months on the US Ebay. I'm sure if you kept your eye out you'd find a fairly good one. A lot of people don't seem to know what the 'Contemporary' Tele is, and list it as just a normal Tele, so you have to be extra thorough sometimes.

Posted - 07/31/2005 : 10:06:25 I hear the Japanese ones are better. Though I used to have a red Mexican Tele and I thought it was great.
I've put it up on Ebay with some pictures now.

Posted - 07/31/2005 : 07:08:55 aww man, if this was like a year or so ago..! i tried to get one on ebay for about a period of a month or something, but the only ones that came up were in america, and with p&p and tax it was a bit too much. then a bit later i came in to some money and bought a japanese telecaster (sort of in line with the mexican/standards, although i've heard people say the japanese ones are better) for about £335.
Oh let it linger |

Posted - 07/30/2005 : 14:25:27 If I could afford it, I mught just follow you up on that, mislead!
