I've had my tele for about a year now, and I love it! :D
Though because It was purchased second hand, I have no idea how much it is worth incase I ever decided to sell it.
It has some customization done to it, like a 3rd pickup and i think the neck has been shaved.
I figured the best place to ask would be here, so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Here's some pics:

The added pickup wouldn't really add to the value over any other 2000 American Standard/American Series Tele but it wouldn't subtract value either. All "modern" tele bodies are routed under the pickguard for the middle pickup so you can add one without doing any "surgery" to the body; the wiring and pickguard are reversable mods. However, the shaved neck will definitely subtract value.

These normally go for say $600-$700 in good condition; I suspect the neck mods will drop the value down to more like $500.

Hi Betterthanmeofcourse,

I agree with John C. A completed listings search on eBay shows that new unmodified US Std Teles going for around $600 to $800 depending on model/type. Even as early as '91 US Std models aren't commanding any good price. Of course it is always worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you have the time, I'm sure that someone, somewhere is willing to pay more than you expected. :wink:
