"1952 Fender Tele pickguard, lots of cool play wear, payment by Bank Transfer only, will look great on your $ 48 K Tele, insured shipping is 35 quid."
Only for £3.500,00 :shock:

Lots to learn for bootweakers :
- Wear is cool. Dented box, flaky paint and broken knobs are a must. Rust is even better.
- A Telecaster costs $48,000 so there's no problem to price a classic effect circuit ten times less.
- Even at $48k, Tele don't have a pickguard. And if it's really a '52 with stock pickguard, it looks too shiny, you need a ruined one to look authentic.


Hmm, sorry.
I do build my effects in worn-out vintage boxes, not even related to audio. But only because they were thrown to garbage, so i got 'em for free :wink:
I only give negative feedback.
