How much was the purple tele selling on SDOTD for? Does anyone remember? I see that model is $1099 regularly. And yes I agree, it truly does look like a tribute to Danish Pete’s tele from Anderton’s Music.

I want to say it was 799 or 849 as the stupid deal of the day thing. Not a horrible price and under a grand.

It seems Danish Pete’s starpower is such that his purple CS tele has spawned at least three imitators. There’s this MIM mid-priced Guitar, there’s Anderton’s Custom Shop replicas of Pete’s guitar. And now there are some budget model Squiers that Anderson’s is selling too, with Pete’s signature... The guy is a wonderful player, but how many purple guitars can one guy sell? -Ray

My Tele wasn't so much road-worn as it was abused. Similar look, though. I got it as a deal sweeter when I sold my '53 Les. Pick guard had been replaced with split leather. Looked like it had been stored in a shed piled with barbed wire. Played fine but I never liked the split leather look. I'd love an aged guitar that had a story to it like "this was Keith Richards very first tele!"

It was indeed $750 and I just saw one at the local Guitar Denter here and it wasn't sparkly. Looked better than I expected though. I don't mind the purple so much as I mind the artificial wear.

I haven’t seen one of these yet in shop but my impression was it didn’t have obvious sparkle paint finish. Last thing I saw in shop was a Jimmy Page Dragon Fender model which seemed to have a fairly subdued colour scheme at quick glance, the latter due to price tag and rosewood board imo. The entire debacle of the “return of the prominence of the telecaster” might be a good idea for a future thread.

How have you maintained this guitar over the years? Looks very clean for a 45 year old instrument! |

Dishonest, are you that sensitive to be triggered by a company offering a reliced guitar? Please stay indoors and don't read or listen to the news.
Geeze....

At first I was in the agast camp. Slowly I became more open minded and began to see some great looking heavy relics.
I got the itch for a tele and watched MJT for something cheap and got one. I now have 2 mjt teles and 1 mjt jazzmaster which has the nicest butterscotch based sunburst over swamp ash I have ever seen. Medium relicing. Real nitro not the one lacq coat over poly ala fender. On some he gets aged crazing into the top coats by using freezing or something. They are all different and buying from these type makers supports small family ops. And Fender has to move to the market given their huge overhead, there is no way around that I like how Fender is always willing to try things. I suspect they sell many to overseas. But they are in the eye of the beholder to be sure. some are drab and nothing, and then others are absolute works of art as a visual thing, and I have to not bid on them. It really is all good.

I mean come on, road worn. Always has been and will forever be one of the dumbest things in the guitar world.
