Going to see a Steelcaster Deluxe in the morning.
Anything to watch out for? Anything I should be sure to check?
Thanks

Fugly as hell imho.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

TBH I have never played one, they may be really great, I doubt there is anything special you need to look out for, except for rust in the arches if its been kept somewhere damp

Conway has had a couple 
One sold on trademe a while back. It had rust marks on it. So maybe that's something to look for?

I've played two Teles. Both light, bright, felt nice enough, but not at the $7000 or so that was asked for them.

$7k! This is £2k so I guess that's OK for second-hand.

Leaning on your bedpost, next to the chewing gum.
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.
