Hey folks, new poster here looking for some advice. I have a 78' Custom tele in a burgundyish red, a dear friend gave me this guitar due to his circumstance and I would never consider selling it. However I want to get it insured here in the UK as I know I could never replace it! I've been looking everywhere for models like it in terms of the finish but I can't find any information about it or pictures anywhere. Does anyone have an idea if it was from a set or series? I'm trying to calculate it's worth for the insurance.

Many thanks in advance!

Alex

Hi & welcome.

According to the price list, a 1978 built Tele Custom was available in 'choice of finishes' which were Sunburst (500); Blond (501); White (505); Black (506); Natural (521); Walnut (522); Antigua (523); and Wine (524).
But custom colors were a possibility, and there's quite a lot of Burgundy/Wine/Cherry/Walnut and whatnut Fender colors.

Pics would help us help you.

For insurance purpose's, an appraisal by a reputable vintage guitar dealer should be considered as a minimum although your insurance company may hay other pre-requisites you must comply with. Talking to your agent should be your first step, believe it or not some are quite helpful.
