This is a rare bird. I thought I'd try here on the Forum before going to Reverb.com.
The guitar is a Custom Shop '52 Thin-Skin reissue that I paid $1500 for a few years ago. I had it shipped directly to Dave Evans (on Albert Lee's recommendation) and he fitted his exclusive B-bender, routing out the body and fitting his excellent titanium mechanics.
Dave's work cost around $1200.00.
I can't see a blemish on the guitar. It comes in a gig-bag and has the accompanying set of tools for adjustments to the 'pull' (required if you should change string-gauge) and the tension on the strap.
I want to finance another steel so I've had to choose between my two 'bender' Teles. I find a rosewood neck preferable to maple so I'm parting with this one.
$1950 plus shipping and PayPal (3.3% on top.)
The guitar is surprisingly lightweight at a fraction over 7 lbs.. 9.5" radius with .6105 frets. Fast and easy.... _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.
