Would it be possible to find one on the bay with the butterscotch color?

If i do find one would it be a standard model? I see some on ebay but i'm not really sure if they are legit, i'm afraid i might buy a squier with a fender decal.

I'm not really familiar with tele prices.. any help would be appreciated!

I have gotten a couple around $250 on Craigslist. Just search around and be patient.

It should be very easy to find a MIM Tele under $300. But it may not be so easy finding a cheap one in Butterscotch, being this is a very desirable color! If you are not too picky about color, you will be rocking on the cheap in no time! :D

Yeah, the Butterscotch Blonde is a very popular color so it may be difficult yet you never know what may show up on CraigsList or Ebay.

Ooohh.. I see, so the butterscotch is a bit rare for the $300 mark..

I could get a black one and have it repainted right? In terms of quality..

the $300 MIM would definitely be better than the butterscotch tele of a $300 Squier right?

I really don't want to buy a squier as much as possible..

How about these axes? I really want a Classic style Tele 50's, similar to what ralph maccio uses on crossroads ( sorry i'm really not familiar with tele models)

Can i purchase these and get a good buy? plus in the future can i have it repainted to butterscotch without compromising the 50's style?

especially this since it has a buy it now option...

With the trouble of repainting it yourself, unless you know what you doing you better off scrapping an extra $50 and wait for your original blonde finish.
