BALLS! NO WAY!

I would so have bought that. :shock:

In fact I would even sell my ENGL for that and go without an amp for a while...

It's the nicest tele i have seen, i want it so badly but i have too many guitars as it is and i don't really have money to spend.

interesting. any ideas on specs?

FELINEGUITARS · « **Reply #4 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:34:23 PM »

Uh - I just sold that 6 months ago for £1200! ??????
Somebody buy it before I buy it back
Should have a Hiscox case with it too!

AGH! Sudden GAS explosion! HELP!

:oops: :oops: :oops:

I think I NEED that guitar.

seems unlikely someone would pay £1200 and then sell it to coda music for way less than £500 within 6 months... dont reckon it got stolen do you :?

anyway, nice guitar.. even i am tempted!!

Just spoken to Coda as I too was concerned that the original owner maybe got robbed. Seems they bought it in on a part ex. It also has a Hiscox case worth £75.

Still sounds way too cheap to me , but I haven't heard from the owner since the sale so maybe they had a change of heart over it
Actually thinking about it - it sold 2 days after last years LGS to a nice guy who had just taken retirement and wanted to treat himself.

Specs are swamp ash body , maple neck with rosewood board.Dunlop 6155 frets (like on a PRS)
Sperzel machineheads, Earvana nut. All access neck joint, and strat like body contours - was inspired by Jeff Beck's tele
Pickups are Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 pro tele set
Think it had a 4 way switch, and the has the electrosocket tele jack (the one that doesn't fall out)

It is a great little guitar..............

I guess if the guy had just retired he may have found himself more in need of cash than he realised.

Can't see the point of p/x on guitars though, you never seem to get a decent price. Although I am terrible at haggling.

Atleast you don't have a drunk old farmer of a father that tries to haggle in supermarkets! The poor kids on the till just have blank faces

Strangely enough at the price it is selling for it is worth it for the parts alone in retail prices
Sperzels £60
Earvana £20 plus fitting
Wilkinson bridge £50
Duncan pickups £130
Hiscox case £75
Body ???
Neck ???
Electrosocket, switchcraft jack , CGE pots, 4 way switch £30+
etc etc

Earvana £20 plus fitting

Actually that reminds me, I meant to ask if Earvana make a 1-3/4" wide nut?

Not the type with the "screw top", the type that requires a bit of wood removed from the end of the fingerboard. The LSR replacement would be ideal if it's wide enough.

It's for that white superstrat I posted a pic of yesterday. It currently has an old Wilkinson roller nut which isn't quite wide enough; that needed 1/16" taken off the fingerboard, so I thought an Earvana might be a good replacement.

FELINEGUITARS · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:34:39 PM »

Yes the LSR replacement will work well
We have them in stock

Thanks Jonathan, I'll bring it along sometime :) . Probably not imminently.

That looks great-wish I had the cash-gotta be careful-but I am in danger of losing my job at the moment otherwise I'd cadge the cash from Mrs 38th.
