Hard to read the S/N, does it begin with a 3 or 5?

That finish looks a foot deep

Nice guitar, and I could be wrong but something about the cream pickup rings and covered pickups doesn’t ring true RE factory original.

A 2025 Robin?! Nice maple, JE Lee approved PU slant, old school Floyd nut attachment (screws through back of neck, WHY?) https://reverb.com/item/88948558-new-robin-medley-pro-iv-2025-super-strat-trans-red-plek-d

See the curb? Take the item to curb. Done.

Count ‘em, 3, I said 3 soapbars!

I’ve not played a vintage spec Fender for many moons. I’m looking at some Mexican Fender Esquires and they feature vintage approved 7.25” radius fingerboards. What say ye, yay or nay? ETA: I don’t play fast. at all. But I do like to bend strings. A lot.

Probably just a casting mark of some sort

Hello @ErikG and welcome Be prepared for the obligatory offer of $350- USD for your guitar. It’s a long running joke on the forum.

$3.50

And he’s a holy roller (plays Xmas songs in church on a V)! https://flyingvguitars.weebly.com

Evidence that an idiot once owned said guitar. What a pretty top!

You’re welcome! I’ve not seen a NP that wasn’t red with gold hardware, they may exist. GLWTSearch!

San Jose CL, $2250- https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/msg/d/san-jose-2005-usa-hamer-newport-pro/7825382257.html

Ya done damn good, JZ! Congrats!

Sort of a PSA here— Schenker will be touring behind his new album “My Years with UFO”, playing a long US Tour including the GAMH in SF during Oct. (I’m talking to you @RobB but I probably knew this already). The vinyl double LP is on sale at Amazon for under $16- https://www.amazon.com/Years-Ufo-Michael-Schenker-Group/dp/B0D6GTZ6L6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CLYJSTWAA2HP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v3dCNdRs3ps3kOelnGQ22eFEM8njUlCaSfLtsxpQaK5LpKhbu1xR4kn7MnPG9_PLoOnw108LMJ0r7h3Wt0pBdaj4URgRN1OCAXfz6tE0vhCLhn5iSwJW4yKcvFoKRGXsPyEsg_avNxLnx-xC7S-hfo-f2V5UmVnVLBNmXCISP6rFwaD8MuTqqfDzt5ce2xuvg43eyv62ek-hArLnZnBteQPVx28Hotp1MrJ1cmLIzYA.S0R4SPK3HIvkbmTko5up0kEr_w8LAaSO-7hOITwVb8Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=my+years+with+ufo&qid=1742088680&sprefix=My+years+ufo%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1 PLUS, he’s got a new Gibson signature V coming out!

The Ovation doesn’t look TOO bad, kind of like cross between a Talladaga and a Kammerer (whatever happened to @Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame?) Hey @crunchee, what was Dave’s asking? There are a few black ones and a red one on Reverb but they don’t look as nice as the natural one Dave’s had. .

I bought a similar item from Stew-Mac several years ago, it worked great to quiet a scratchy pot on my Daytona and didn’t require removal of the pickguard. https://www.stewmac.com/electronics/amps/components-and-parts/pot-cleaning-cap ETA: I don’t recall paying $24 for this item!

I never realized this to be the case!

Nice, one piece top!

Would appreciate the forum’s awareness in these matters. I’m interested in a used Tele at an out of state store. I understand that I can purchase/ pay for the guitar and have it shipped to my local store for inspection. Do I have to pay a shipping fee for this? At that point, if I don’t like the guitar can I simply ask for a refund? Further, the listing page for the guitar states ‘45 day returns’. To me, this means I can take the guitar home for 6 weeks and still return it for a full refund — is that correct? Thanks in advance, I just don’t want to get stuck with the guitar or lose money due to a misunderstanding on my end.

Uh oh, Greenville SC is the mail gyre from hell. I’ve had things land there and be stuck for weeks. You better drive over there and look for it.

Dibs on “no nibs”, lucky!
