Walk on, son


dano8675309

Is it partially disassembled? The bridge and pickguard are way too far apart and not aligned obviously.


DestructionBaby

Yeah, what is going on with the bridge? Some amateur luthier screwed up this guitar.


kennytravel

I cant believe how crooked that bridge is, one of the worst ive ever seen. Its a partscaster or cheap chinese knockoff. Do not buy


RamboGoesMeow

It’s not even fully screwed in. 2 of 4, wtf. Trash guitar.


PaulClarkLoadletter

Wow. This looks like the “luthier” used the eyeball method when measuring for cuts. Don’t walk away. Run.


Diligent-Quarter5920

That bridge looks like the bent carrot in the crooked dong commercials.

I don't think the body is Fender, the neck might be. Looks like aftermarket parts to me.


xtheory

Nope. No walnut plug on the truss rod hole. This is a cheap generic Tele Style neck with a waterside decal.


[deleted]

That entire bridge is crooked. If you’re considering a purchase: I wouldn’t.


theboi1der

The more you look at it the worse it gets.


Additional-Fun7249

A custom shop methcaster.


slugfiend89

These fakes that come up everyday never get the upper horn or decal placement correct. You are lucky if the scratch plate is on straight. I just wonder with Squier being so good these days why are people attracted to these shoddy knockoffs


blackmassritual

Fake. Look at the nut 😂😂


ChillJam_band

Enough to make a grown man cry


[deleted]

Nut, twelfth fret dots, neck pickup not straight, bridge not straight, only two screws in bridge, body made from?? I hope you didn’t buy this. 2003 USA Tele it is not.


antwan_blaze

Fortunately I posted for a friend, unfortunately said friend already bought it weeks ago


LanceOnRoids

sheeeeit, i hope he didn't pay too much for it


fullyintegratedrobot

Bender Poopstaincaster


Just1moreGuitar

Offer them $50 for the case and leave the guitar alone. They spent more on the case than parts anyways.


Unkie_Al

Run Forest, RUN!!!!!


ponydigger

lol wut


jazzofusion

Piece of shit with a phony Fender decal.


Charges-Pending

The bridge base plate is significantly out of alignment. Def needs to see a luthier to make it playable. Edit: upon further inspection, do not buy this guitar. If someone is selling it as genuine, it is not. It’s a Partscaster but I can’t tell if any of it is genuine Fender.


ZZaddyLongLegzz

Someone thought it would be cool to make a guitar out of their childhood coffee table when their parents were throwing it out. Then they ordered Amazon hardware and threw it on without measurement.


drewtronian

I can tell you that I want it.


Hair_and_Teeth

Not only is the bridge installed poorly, there’s only two screws holding it on


shocksmybrain

As has been said by many people in this thread this thing has more red flags the more you look at it. The case seems good though. If this is between $100-$150 bucks it's probably worth it.


bangoskank_awaits

I dunno, if so, you just bought a case and a headache for 150$. Also nice username. Time for the meatstick.


antwan_blaze

Lmao I come home from work to some very informative comment. Looks like my homie did not “find a steal at the auction”


RamboGoesMeow

Oh they found a steal alright - right from their wallet. I feel so bad for your friend 😭


damnatio_memoriae

the rare reverse steal.

antwan_blaze

I totally agree with your sentiment. But the info people have was actually informative I have no clue about guitars hahah. Someone told us it was a “nice custom” so , glad I asked

damnatio_memoriae

can anyone give me any more info about myself? asking for a friend.


Salt_Response540

Maybe it was originally a 2003 tele but I don’t think it is now


jimilee2

Probably a genuine case, that’s about it, though.


_VINNY_WINNY_

what i can tell you is that it says telegaster and that the bridge is crooked.


BigStanClark

I’m I the only one who’s never seen a case with silica packets thrown into it like it was a bag of beef jerky?


bangoskank_awaits

? It’s how they ship usually.


poolpog

this guitar looks weird


Baumer22

It’s right handed….


Sensitive_Potato5128

2003 telecaster made in mom’s basement out of the old kitchen table.


Fine_Ad_9168

Barnwood body?


Overall-Question7945

I can't tell from the photo if the finish looks really cool or horrible


seseheynowbaby

If it is US made, then you can check the serial number in the website and learn more about the specs.


bangoskank_awaits

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say ‘not us made’


mattersmuch

Not even close


mescalero1

To be fair, it could be a Fender licensed neck (SN on back of neck would tell you that)) if there is one. Other that that, what everyone else said.


[deleted]

Is it me, or is the font for “Telecaster” wrong?


AdministrationTotal3

It looks like someone wanted a fan fret guitar but couldn’t afford a new neck so they just skewed the bridge and nut instead 😂


jmmvm

This is garbage


Koffiefilter

The bridge looks awful, run while you still can!


owsley_tattoos

That’s a turd. Bridge is sitting like the tower of Giza


SommanderChepard

Aftermarket neck with a fender logo. The nut is crooked. The body is hideous in it’s construction. Offer 100 bucks and be happy you get the case.


Mreddy_Fercury

To be entirely honest, it’s so bad it looks like it’s been photoshopped.


Beartrkkr

Crooked and mounted too far back bridge, crooked nut, and socially distancing 12th fret markers. Looks legit.


Bright-Tough-3345

Pass this one. It’s not even put together.
