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.

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 |

| Thanks for making me regret buying my Telecaster. I should have waited until this poped up. Well, best of luck anyway... |

If only you didn't live so far away. If you were even shipping worldwide, the cost on my paet for shipping would be astronomical.

For anyone interested in the guitar, it's the early Pixies sound all over. It's like "Hey" in a can.

btw, misleadtheworld, remember this: http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7923 :D
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.

I can't remember, to be honest. I'm assuming around £300, but it might've been a touch less.

floop, your mod bent ego trips are threatening to ruin this forum. Instead of acting like a hallway monitor, try backing off a bit and let the users of this site sort things out for themselves. |
