Sims Custom Shop "Mary Kaye Blonde" Telecaster - Swamp Ash/Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard
Sims Custom Guitar Works - Custom Shop Showroom Special "Mary Kaye Blonde" Telecaster. Hand-built by Martin Sims personally, using the finest Swamp Ash for the body, 1-piece American Rock Maple neck and Antique Brazilian Rosewood (no longer available) for the Fretboard. Clay dots. Finished in the classic Transparent "Mary Kaye '55 Blonde" Ash and coated in Nitrocellulose with the immaculate finish only Sims Custom Guitars are known for (when Fender, Music Man or Gibson UK need a custom paint job, it's usually outsourced to Sims Custom Shop). Kent Armstrong Custom-wound Vintage spec pickups and Vintage spec Gotoh Hardware including string-through-body 3-saddle Tele Bridge. This is a unique one-off Sims Custom Shop Guitar in Mint/Unused condition and has only been displayed in the Sims Custom Shop Showroom. Must be seen, held and played in person to be appreciated. Fender Custom Shop would demand 3 to 4 times this price for similar spec and you would not get Brazilian Rosewood, period. Or another perspective; this is a top-of-the-line handcrafted Custom Shop level guitar built by one of the United Kingdom's finest luthiers (and luthier to the Stars) at a price similar to that of a Mexican built Fender. Crazy price. There is no case with this piece as it was bought as an ex display item. I can, however, provide a quality gig bag for safe transit home, if you don't have your own case. Price or very near offer. See my other listings for more guitars for sale from my collection Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
