Please check the "Available" page on my web site: http://www.allisonguitars.com/available.html
for, among other things, a couple of relic'ed Teles I made last year. I only list retail prices on my web site for new stuff, but I'll take $750 for either of them.

BOTH SOLD LOCALLY...

Thanks
J A

Those look realy purdy...

Are those vintage style six-saddle bridges like the ones found on MIJs? Is that a lam-board rosewood or slab-board? What are the specs on the neck?


750 is a great price...

Yes, $750 is a great price. You won't find a better finish or better playability. The truth is I hated relic'ing them, but nobody seems to want a perfect vintage nitro finish anymore. I intend to blow them out and move them to make way for new stuff.


Neck specs:
- Maple neck
- Rosewood fingerboard
- 9.5" radius
- Nut width 1-11/16"
- Heel width 2-3/16"
- Neck thickness .85" at first fret, .95" at twelfth fret

Bridge is standard 6-saddle tele replacement bridge.

Thanks
J A

If one of them had a maple fretboard we would be in buisness. But they sure are pretty.

Plenty of interest, but no takers, yet.
Bump it up for another go-round.

Hi John, I'm a little slow but when it says relliced then does that mean you or someone took a regular Nitro finished slicked up new guitar and some way turned it into a "custom shopped" like guitar ie made it look and feel like an older guitar like Fender does quite a bit??

No negativism meant just trying to figure what I might be looking to buy Smile The Tele looks very nice and as far as the pictures go it looks like one that has been played many years......

So anyway let me know if I'm on the right track. I appreciate the info and you letting me know if I'm guessing right! Thanks

Bob, you're correct.
The relic-ing is designed to make a perfectly new guitar look as if it's been played out for years. We do the finish ourselves and, as I mentioned, I'm not really a fan of the relic thing, but intentionally relic'ed Fender repro's outsell new-looking ones.

I will say that a well-finished relic does have a nice vibe. I just prefer letting actual wear and age do the trick.

Thanks for the interest and I'll try to get some pics up on the post here.

Are the frets vintage or like the 6105?

They're the vintage profile... I think .079x.051 is the size wire that's used for those necks.

The Surf Green is sold locally...
Another local buyer interested in the Daphne, but for now it's still available.

Thought I had the Daphne tele sold as well, but it looks like that guy who wanted it can't come up with the money for a while.
So...still available.

Marc, I emailed and PM'd. I guess you lost interest in it?

Up to the top for one more round, I suppose.
