Watch out for this 1972 tele for sale on ebay

What's Hot
bgmartinsbridgebgmartinsbridge Frets: 2773
edited September 2023 in Guitar
So I nearly bought this last week on reverb for 2600. Very cheap at first glance. 

Spoke to the guys on live chat at rwb guitars in York (awesome guys and totally honest) and they sent me photos of the frets and said it 100% needs a refret. Serious marks on the frets.

Fast forward a week and it's gone from reverb to ebay and is now 3900.

Just be careful of this one and expect to pay for a refret when the guy refuses a return. 

Gorgeous looking tele.

    Two photos - one sent to me by the shop before sale saying needs a refret.

    Second, on ebay now, a week after being sold on reverb. 
    Still has a few marks on the frets and looks like it has been filed down at home, with seller saying it could maybe do with a fret dress.

  • And it appears they used a cheese grater to file the frets. Still visible swarf all over the fretboard…jeez!
