Good buy if it’s Fender. Good electronics and still a nice instrument! I’d say give it a go!

What make is it though? It does not look like a Fender. If you are buying cheaper guitars you want to learn how to do a full set up.

It’s fender Telecaster dude

Really? I have never seen them with a pickup in the middle like that. Are you sure it is not a copy or something?

It is made in USA, I think

It’s a cheap version of fender. It’s not Squier though.

It’s not a problem. I just need a cheap guitar to play my riffs that I hear in my mind.
Captain Beefheart, Bauhaus, Stooges inspire me and make me full of new riffs

USA teles normally look like this.

Plus it has what looks like a custom shop paint job which means it would cost a ton if you were to get it.

If I were you I would ask him if it is a copy.

It’s the cheapest fender. Not as cheap as Squier. But it costs 500 dollars and he sells it for 250

The cheapest Fenders are the players, and I just checked they are made in Mexico. Just saying Om this looks a bit fishy to me. I have never seen a Tele with that pickup configuration before. Plus the paint job is not typical fender either. You can buy it if you want, but I would ask him a couple of more questions about it first.

Thanks for your concern, my friend.
I have played it when we were doing rehearsals and jamming. I like it. It’s cheap. Maybe it’s from Mexico. I don’t mind. I don’t have money for a really good guitar

Yeah, a few. I have a Fender Mustang which is quite nice.

I was a good classical guitarist in high school.
And I had a rock band. Back then I had bought a really bad and cheap squier stratocaster.
It was really bad. Haha. But i was making some good solos and riffs. Now that I listen mostly to post punk, I have the inspiration to play again

Do you not currently own a guitar?

No, I had anhedonia and avolition, really bad, for some years, and I gave away my guitar to a good friend who is multi instrumentalist. I couldn’t listen to music and had no imagination anymore. Do you play your own stuff? Did you ever have a band?

We don’t have money for expensive guitars or anything else. The financial crisis hasn’t ended yet. I need a laptop and I have no money. It’s a pity

I had a band when I was about 15 once. Never after leaving school though. I have written my own stuff before as well. Mostly pumpkins style stuff.
