Tim Plains Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 My G.A.S. for a '52 VR Tele is gone. I still want one, but not a '52. I came across this on on CL and I might check it out this weekend. The seller says condition is 9/10. No fret wear with minor nicks & scratches. The thing that strikes me as odd is that it doesn't have a hard case. A 60th anniversary American Standard with no hard case? I think it's just a Tele made in the anniversary year and he's trying to pass it off as an official anniversary edition. Anyone know what this should go for? $700 asking price. I think it's a bit high. A new Highway One Tele goes for around $800. http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/msg/1003737018.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The 60th had a special case I think R9. Check the TDPRI. There's a guy there named Bobolov or something that owns like 10 of em'. Also, beware the 7.25" Radius...........I hate it. Best of luck. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Yep, that's him. I haven't been there in a LONG time, it's too heavily moderated, Paul was very rude to me a few times, even emailing me. At one time you couldn't even mention cops, smoking laws, all kind of stupid rules. Just silly sh!t. I bought over $5000.00 worth of Gibson gear last year. No Fender gear. Go figure.

Guitar slinger Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I do have a 60th anniversary strat and it not only has a case but it has a custom case that no other Fender has. I'll post pictures tomorrow. But mine is the diamond MIA one. But is looking a little cheesy. That gigbag is NOT the one issued with the mexican 60th...

HeadCase Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I could be wrong, but... I don't think that's a 60th Ann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Boris Bubbanov posts a lot at the Squier 51 modders fourm. He must have about 10 of them like somebody said. I think he got them on clearance when they did not sell well. Boris must have more than 100 Teles in total and that may be a low number... His ears maybe burning just by typing his namesake in this forum, he's no exactly a Gibson fan. http://www.instituteofnoise.com/squier51/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2399&whichpage=2&SearchTerms=60th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks guys! The guy says he bought it used for $860 and it only came with the gig bag. Hmm...An American built Tele with an asking price of $700. Wonder if I should check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
