Hi guys, I'd like your opinion on this one.. price etc, i'm pretty much ready to pull the trigger.

My main question... is to the neck... That discoloration - that is pretty much normal right? That is just from use of the guitar, not water warping damage etc? I do not want to buy a warped neck! Especially since I won't be able to play it before hearing it :|

I was going to buy a totally different tele next week (a heavily mod'd partscaster with humbuckers) but I've been so happy with my 2242 super rock that that this is hard to pass up

Pleeeease don't swipe this from me? I need a telecaster and one with neck humbucker stock is just gravy for me!

That tele is offered by our member ozarkcannon... shoot him a PM if you want any details. I've bought three guitars from Joe, and each one has been a good deal.

As far as the fretboard discoloration, that is common with these guitars, the poly is thin and fades with use.

Here is a video with a 2248 if you want to hear what the stock pickups sound like:

Good luck, Mike.

I'd buy it - Ozark's stuff is as advertised or better.

:up: You will find that anything Ozark offers up is indeed usually better than described. I have gotten several guitars from him and I have never been surprised with anything and always arrive ready to play with no problems or setup issues. Great guitar grab it quick and also PM ozark as he will gladly answer any and all questions or concerns. :up:

Yup, Yup and Yup. Joe is a straight shooter and you can rest assured it will be an excellent player.


Plus he dances one h€|| of a mean cha-cha.... well, at least that's the word on the street. :D

Hey Guys, thanks for all the positive comments-my hat doesn't fit anymore! Unfortunately it seems it didn't help....one email several days ago then nothing... :roll:
No idea why this hasn't sold- several have sold at much higher prices at same condition or much worse,maybe I'm not asking enough...had several emails asking why so cheap :no:
If anyone is interested PM me,it will be awhile before I list on ebay again-have to pay them for two listings with zero results :mad2:
