Most people know that PrimeGuitars is a web based store specializing in the hardest to find boutique guitars/amps. Been in business 11 years. Sold over 50 Detemples and 50 D’Pergos. I am pretty confident that I know a great guitar.
This 2007 Detemple was MY personal tele for many many years. I only had ONE tele and THIS was it. I could have kept anything that passed through my store. Why this one? For me this particular tele had something that none of the others did. Overtones combines with a plunkiness (think like a kick drum in a guitar note) that I just found so intoxicating. Each note just punches through the amp then rings on. This is not an overpowering guitar. It is not nasty ‘nail spitting’ raspy. It is musical and beautiful. It PUSHES effects perfectly but does not in and of itself rasp out your tone.
The instrument has lived in a nonsmoking home studio for its entire life. That being said, it has wear on it. Definitely natural relic. It is at the point where it is COOL and not overdone…and what I like is it isn’t just one nick that destroys perfection. It is honest loving wear that is on the guitar.

Of course this comes with the original case. The neck is a WONDERFUL soft V and man I just love it. The notes just vibrate on Detemples and this is no exception. Also, this is a pretty unique trans-white. I happen to LOVE the color. Also, the neck is probably the flamiest I’ve seen on a detemple. This is truly a special piece.
I have priced it extremely fairly given the wear.
