We chat about this on next weeks Chasing Tone podcast - our conclusion was as its players grade you should just send it to us and we'll swap it for a couple of pedals :D
I’d read about the paint pot ring before but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen one. Apparently they used to put the guard on a paint pot when they sprayed it with clear nitro.
I would've liked to seen the resistance on the pickups .And the underside of the bridge pickup . Even though there's A lot bits replaced , I bet it will bring a good price for a snookerd Tele .😎🎸
To be fair to Luke (and GH), I don't mind how it is referred to, player's grade or other. If I wanted to make this kind of investment, I'd go and look at the guitar myself. GH offers very good opportunities to do this via their pre-auction preview days. That aside, I find these videos from Luke extremely helpful in deciding whether to spend time on a visit to Wiltshire. Thanks to all concerned. 🙏
Not sure why people care so much about original parts, it's a 70 year old guitar, of course some parts aren gonna be broken. These are instruments, tools for creativity. Not antiques for rich men who can't play a lick on them. Go collect stamps or something else, don't deprive musicians of great instruments for your p@thetic hobby.
I'm not too far off the age of this Telecaster - and likewise some of my parts are broken, missing, or non original replacements. Not sure if my mrs evaluates me as 'players' grade or downgrades me to 'spares or repairs'' ? Or what reserve price she'd put on me at auction ??? I will admit that for all the wear and tear, I don't look as good, or can be valued for insurance purposes, as this rugged old Tele..
Given that it's a musical instrument, it's a pity there's no way to find out what it sounds like or plays like. Ah well, maybe one day scientists will come up with some way of doing that.

Yep!

Next time I dismantle or modify my Squier, I'll be extra careful 😊

7:41 decal seems to be sitting on top of the filled string tree holes?
Someone’s had their paint brush out. Forgot to mention in the video! 👍😊
Aha! I wondered if that might be the case, a bit of "touch-up" paint :)@@GHguitarauctions
Cool vid of a cool guitar. I wouldn't call this 'players grade' due to he routed and repaired body + removed finish. There is little originality left.
It's playable... Players grade.
Thanks for watching
They wasn't vintage back in the day though 🤷♂️
Who new they would be so valuable.

Thanks for the comment and for watching 😊
Too right, stamps, coins, paintings, books , maps, prints Victorian seaside postcards and they want the Rock n roll tools too, greedy pigs!
