How much are they worth???

**oldguy** · December 22nd, 2007, 07:15 PM

I know this has been brought up before.....but it never ceases to amaze me!

I love Tele's....... but some folks seem to have more money than sense...or am I missing something here (besides 5 or 10 grand to spend to be a gear corksniffer)?

How much are they worth???

IMHO between $600 and $1000 at the most. They are TELECASTERS.

It could come up a million more times and I still don't think we would get a response like "I think it's worth every penny"

They keep on producing them, so someone out there is buying them. I would like to meet just one to ask "How do you feel this replica is worth the asking price?" I may find out that they got 10% knocked off the asking price

and since John English died, you can trust that the prices for the guitars under his name will rise even more, like that Esquire.

have you guys checked Bill Nash??

He`s been making custom guitars for sometime, and the quality is just as good as any other bigger guy around, and in a much more affordable price

As long as some idiot will pay that price. Fender will keep making them.As the saying goes,some people have more money than brains!

:
I agree with Adrian 600 to 1000 no more.

I think what a Realtor told me when I was selling my house also applies here:

For every seat, there's an a$$.

A mystery to me, too. But like I always say, there are always a few folks out there with more dollars than sense....

How would you like to be the store owner sitting on that much in inventory hoping someone will walk into your store, fall in love with it and actually have enough cash to buy it? I think I'd rather be a farmer. The odds are better that it will rain. This must be why they are on ebay because they have no local market.

**Tone2TheBone** · December 23rd, 2007, 12:17 AM

I kinda like Telecasters. Especially my own. Good price. Looks purdy.

**robert43** · December 23rd, 2007, 12:18 AM

If any wants a guitar / bass reliced just give it to my 14 year old son ( or any other teenage kid for that matter) he seems to beable to wreck / scratch ever thing he owns or NOT his like my gear

But yes I agree there are people with tooooooo much money on there hands if they ever want to give some away I will give them the bank details

But you missed the fact that they come with a color 8 x 10 photo.

Teles are cool. It would be fun to have a decent one. But it seems $600 to $1000 would be plenty to get a really nice one, and that there are some good ones available for less than that.

a couple of my ex's would say that I am a fool.......even if I had that kind of money it would not be spent on some replica guitar......or even the real blackie for that matter. What some people justify for toys is just amazing to me.
