Sure, you'd have to drive to NJ to pick this up, it comes with the head as well though:

I am only posting this because cosmically it feels like the right time. This may never sell, it probably won't, if it doesn't it will follow me through the rest of my life...

This is a truly magic guitar. Life is a long path of twists and turns, love and difficulty, expectations and shattered expectations, goals and dreams, accomplishments and failures, human miracles and tragedies, a circular yet shapeless passage of time in this earthly body, choices with karmic consequences, dreams that can be followed or ignored. For me, this guitar epitomizes the karmic succession of my life. I bought it on a day of huge loss, in an exceptional circumstance, from a beautiful and generous person at the end of an impossibly hard day, and it has carried me like a boat through my life thus far. It is the most gorgeous instrument I've ever seen, and it is always an honor to play this treasure of a guitar, which has probably seen so many more smoky rooms, inaccessible life twists, moments of glory, spun heads, epiphanies, dust, and certainly more decades, than I've experienced on this earth. It feels like it is infused with the must and resinous breath of an ancient, more hopeful era.

In general I would always be open to authenticating an instrument -- but in general, I wouldn't be posting my spirit object on the Internets. And I will not open this guitar up. For what it's worth, the person who sold this to me claimed it was a 1960 Telecaster. I'm pretty sure the neck is a '67 -- a one-off year of a particular neck style that wasn't replicated any other year. But for me, details like this mean nothing. The neck to this guitar, is the neck to this guitar. The stickers -- at least one of which I believe came from Woodstock -- have been crudely glossed over; the whole guitar has some kind of thick clear-coat finish over the stickers and the finish, it's not at all pretty and it's perfect. I have no idea about the paint job. Again, why would I ask these questions about a holy object?

I have played many fantastic vintage Fenders, Gibsons, Martins... and certain guitars do have a truly holy feeling to them. Usually, in my experience, they've been well-used, they're probably possessed, they've seen a lot. I've played countless basses and owned many, and only one -- a '72 P Bass -- had the magic to make me actually play bass like a bassist. It was incredibly smooth, worn, conversational in its playability, light, a faded olympic white that looked like a wonderfully cigarette-stained wall. I stupidly sold it, and even the finest vintage Fender basses don't hold a candle to it. Turns out it was a featherweight, and that's why it weighed nothing, and I will never see another like it again with a perfect 70's neck profile like that. This Fender telecaster is a bit like that, but it feels more as though a psychedelic rock overlord channelled this guitar into my life, from an extended hand protruding from some Monty Python-like clouds behind the Woodstock stage...And the ancient weight, aesthetic, smell, the electricity of the wood, are here in front of me, granted by fate somehow, in physical form.

Why am I posting this? I honestly don't know. It might be the lemon-crest moon outside, my prospects feeling deeply inhibited by my finances, all the time and possibly forever; it might be because when I played the guitar tonight, I felt some bizarre short-circuit of its magic, and thought that if I leave it up to fate, maybe an exchange will happen that will change my life. Is most of this guitar a 1960? Honestly I have no idea because I would never open it up, but I'm guessing it is. To me, this guitar holds secrets the way a holy book may hold the inexpressible for some. It's ancient in the preserved, human way. And I've never seen another object in my life that makes me feel this way. So that...That reason, in these incredibly strange times, where I wonder to myself -- "Is there any reason not to leave life up to chance, and do something a little weird, throwing my deepest attachment into the breeze?" ; "Could fate have my life be some different way?" ; even, "will I ever be able to stop renting and maybe buy a house?" .... Questions like these, are folded in the heart of this guitar. Is the price insanely high? Yeah maybe....And that's what it'd take to change my life, and to purchase this relic from me.

Not sure if I need to elaborate more but, yeah, it plays great. In my opinion it couldn't play better; it's an honor to play. If sold, it will be shipped with the utmost care, wrapped in superfluous layers of bubble wrap and shipped in this beat-up, purple-lined case it came with -- which, who knows, you'll have dropped 105K so I'll even bubble wrap the case, as the real Hippies would do...(kidding). I'm selling the guitar 'as is', as described. And I'd like to make sure you're happy before you go ahead and do something crazy. One thing for sure is, there is no other guitar anything like this, anywhere.
Thank you. This will be my only post *anything* like this

but then again, no

[Blood_mountain]

This is not an instrument.
Or is it?

[Dandolin]

could be anything, but useless w/out instructions
"ff to 23:19; sprint around couch/rw to 17:48; out the backdoor/rw to 3:22; spirograph sautee"
"you forgot to mic this to your daw; back to start"

[dubkitty]

how would that even work? even with my general disinterest in gaming, i know that cassettes were sometimes used to load games, but VHS?

"I know, you're all at home just chilling out watching Homer Simpson reruns dreaming of a case for that vintage Jackson/Charvel you have there. Look, I got what you want right here.
No need in letting that guitar go homeless, isn't that guitar abuse in some form or fashion? This case is from the early to mid 80's and the condition is "Excellent." This case is impossible to find. All the latches are functional and this case is sturdy.
People, this is cool and the gang and not for much cake. So, if you're looking, then you know what to do. Just mix in a phone call and or an email and I'll be on the case. (Pun intended.) I gotta Jump, "Deep Space Homer" is coming on today. You remember, that's when Homer is in the 2001 Space Odyssey, picked as the "Average Joe" astronaut.

It rocks and so can you, if you had this case, that is..."

On the plus side, like all explorer cases the handle is in the wrong place and it wont balance when you carry it
