Right, as I've persuaded myself that I need a new full suss bike 😳 the only way to do this is to sell some stuff.

The obvious thing would be a guitar (or 2) that I have lying around mostly gathering dust.

The main one is a rather beautiful USA made Fender Vintage Hotrod Telecaster. Also got a mid range Tokai Loverock. Both have cases (the hotrod has all the case candy, tags, etc., too).

Considering I need to maximise in order to afford a new frame and fork, what's the best place to sell it/'em?

eBay,
Take some time putting ad together with nice photos and full explanation and you will get market value.
See what other guitars go for and put a minimum start price you can live with.
Offer postage to the whole of uk or you limit your potential buyers.
I'd like that Tele but I'm also saving for a new bike.
Good luck.

Nice Tele.
How much are you thinking of selling it for? I have to know so that I can agonise over it. 🙂

How much fret wear? How many dings? Is it all factory original?

Thanks
SB

SB it's all factory. I need to go over it to see but when I said pretty much mint I meant it. It was pg wear, dust and greasy pawprints and must have some slight scuffs, etc. Very light wear. Never dropped, gigged, saddly spent most of it's life in the case... Hence why thinking of selling.

If you want email me sofaboyttATyahoo.co.uk (I'll reply from my normal account) and see how it goes?
