I really really really want a Tele ( pref american std) for down tunings, as im sick of having to down tune for SRV/Jimi and back up again for Rory tunes.

I just bought an Am strat deluxe 3 months ago so i need to get the most affordable option as cant justify too much more on a new guitar. im also selling my old ibanez (if i find a buyer) to help fund the tele.

in a cost cutting exercise, i checked ebay and prices there are more than in stores! here, the tele std is 739 GBP, but anything new on ebay is much more than that. after postage it would be a terrible waste of money.

dont folks realize the value of a guitar?

eBay is funny, because not only will you see brand new items selling for more on eBay than other stores, what you will also find that is more ridiculous is the number of people who will pay more for a used item than a brand new one that is still available on the market. I cannot count the number of times I have seen current production, but used, Squiers on eBay selling for more than what you can get the same item for brand new. But thats the magic of eBay. Some people get online-blinders, where they forget that a world exists outside of the internet. Then, if you've ever been to any live auctions, you will see this as well, people are competitive, and some people are so competitive that they must win at any cost, no matter if its a bet, game, or auction. I have seen live auctions where people bet too much money on something they didn't want, like, and/or need, because for some reason they just don't like the other person placing bids, even though they may have never met or known this person :roll:

Yeah, if you look long and hard enough you will find something at just the right price. Good luck.
