I walked into a local guitar shop, while staying with my daughter.
I found they had two of the CV Teles in White/Maple, for 350. No haggling yet.
Also they had a 60s CV Strat for 279 on sale. I really wasn't looking to buy another guitar but I have not seen one of those teles in stock anywhere, and they have two to choose from.
The 60s Strat seems like a pretty good buy.
I am not sure what to do.
