If the one you have the opportunity to buy is the one that was here in NZ. BUY IT!!!!!!!!! There is magic in that guitar.
I think anything up to NZ$3,500 would be fair.

Re: Fender CS telecaster 52 tangerine
I spent a couple of hours with that guitar in the Rockshop. It was upward of $6k IIRC. As Matt says, it was wonderful and I loved the look. Afterwards, I picked up a Nocaster and put it down after a minute or so. Might not have been the best Nocaster ever made but anyone who knows me, knows what a huge endorsement that is.handsoffmatt wrote:Don't think. Just do. It's an incredible guitar.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

The Tangerine looks fabulous in the flesh! Honest.JHorner wrote:If new = 6K
Then let used = 4K
Minus tangerine = 3.5K
Plus random(NZ) = 3200 +/- 500
