Question: what would happen if a Tele Thinline and a Les Paul Special had a bratty alligator puppy?

Answer: this.

Of course, Fender bash out a load of special edition designs, and some plummet into obscurity while others feel the wind beneath their wings. This one is a masterpiece.

Don't take my word for it, check out the reviews. Unanimously positive to positively gobsmacked, each and every one. Gnarly sustain, super comfy slim neck and low low action, holds tune like nothing else I've experienced.

Only a few hundred of these were made between 2004 and 2007. I can't for the life of me understand why it didn't become a mainline model. I suppose, in a way, it did as it's essentially a deluxe forerunner of the Jim AdkIns JA-90 model. Deluxe meaning: set neck, abalone inlays, USA made Seymour Duncan custom hot P90s, smoked chrome hardware, double cutaway. It's mentalist, but it's properly brilliant. Just the new sniff and you'll be running naked down the High Street, shouting "IT'S ALLLIIIIIIVE!!" all the way to bikram yoga.

Really great condition apart from a scrape on the back near the bottom strap pin (see pics). I'm only selling because I've got a line on a nice old strat that is haunting my dreams. I think I might end up regretting it, because it took me ages to find this Tele.

Collection from Brighton much preferred but I'll post it if you ask really nicely.
