Hi all,
First post, but i have been lurking for a little while, absorbing the wealth of information
I'm a massive Beatles fan - in a tribute band, in fact - and have always loved George's rosewood Telecaster. However, the ?3,500+ tag has put me off somewhat!
I've spotted what appears to be a Tokai version in a local music store (i'm in Southend-on-Sea), for ?399. I'm going to try and bash them down to ?349 when i get some money in, as they've had it in there for months, but need to be sure that it's a real one. I've seen through the forum that there are plenty of fakes around.
I've not been able to take pictures yet (i know, i'm sorry!), but it is 100% identical to the one being sold by warnrgw in this thread.
I would assume that it is legit, judging by the responses in his thread, but am a little confused - i've seen a post elsewhere that seems to show a completely different one. The one i am looking at is labelled up as an ATE70, and has dark-coloured finish on the sides and the back of the neck. The other one i have seen had a different model number, and rosewood sides.
Is there more than one rosewood Breezy Sound? In the absence of an obvious serial number (like the one above), is there any other way to tell?
Many thanks in advance
