That's a good price. A new build would be much more.

Yeah, new they are $3,000. Even with their holiday discounts, still around $2,700.

That looks fantastic. GLWTS

Price Drop... $1,700 shipped F&F.

That would look Real Nice next to the Cream Boogie multi-valve on the other thread.

That's a great looking guitar, and I'd imagine the P-90's give it a rounder sound while still retaining the Tele-Twang.

The red case completes it.

It's got it's own thing going on. Fatter sounding than a normal, twangy Tele. P90's in the neck are my fav, Creedence all day. But, cranked-up, you can get definitely get your Leslie West on.

Ouch, price drop to our HFC peeps... $1,600 shipped/PP F&F.

Still looking for a good home. I played this axe for about an hour this morning and it feels so nice.
