Here’s another of my favorites from the Bay Area World Guitar Show –– it’s a vintage ’69 Telecaster (ash body/ blonde finish/3-ply white pickguard) with an original Fender-branded Bigsby B5 unit… a good looking guitar, and really not a bad price for its era. They were asking $4500, and probably could have gotten closer to [...]
