Talking about guitars, I thought I was well off for a few hours last week.
Forty years ago I was playing in a band, and purchased a Fender Telecaster, I was told at the time it was pre CBS (1965).
As I don't play much anymore I thought I might sell it.
My son went online to check the serial number, he then told me it was a 1958 vintage and could be worth a lot of money.
He phoned a company in London who deal in rare guitars, and was told they had a 58 telecaster in poor condition for sale price £25,000.00.
As my guitar is in really good condition, I thought I had made a good investment.
You can imagine how gutted I was when I was told my son had read the serial number wrong, instead of having a very valuable 58 telecaster, I actually own a 1969 telecaster.
Good job I didn't book a cruise on the strength of it, (Oh begger).
Still a nice guitar though, sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread, I think I just needed to get that off my chest:lol:
