Model 7?

[scaristei]

I have what I believe is a model 7. It is a black telecaster body, top is bound, it has two pickups (the bridge pu is quite a bit larger than the neck up), a three position slider switch, the neck has a "reversed head" which is black and the fretboard is maple. The neck plate stated "Ft. Worth"...and the serial number is 310XXX. I saw it in a pawn shot for $190 and got it for $130...It plays and sounds great!
Can anyone tell me how to date this and any info about the pickups? (I would include a photo, but I am to much of a computer duntz to figure it out!...any help and I will post it.)

Congrats.... I've been looking for a black one!

If it is the guitar logo, then it is a Model 7 if it is a script logo then it is a "Legend".

That's a rare price. I've seen them go for an average of $300-350.

Re: Model 7?

Re: Model 7?

Yes, this is exactly what it has....and it looks exactly like the photo below - Thanks for the info. I also have what appears to be one model 1A (rosewood neck) a model 3, a what I think is a model 550 and a Grover Jackson (no not a Jackson, but a Grover Jackson....know anything about that one ? ? ?

Re: Model 7?

Grover Jackson's were made for the Japanese market only if I remember correctly. Nice score on that model 7, killer price ! I want one too...

Re: Model 7?

Model 1A with a rosewood neck = parts guitar. Do you have other specs?

Locking tremolo + rosewood neck + single humbucker = Model 2
Vintage tremolo + maple neck + 3 single coil pickups = Model 1A

If you have to have one and want to overpay, go to www.chrisguitars.com. Chris has one on his other guitars page. He wants $450.

Re: Model 7?

Jest all you want about the price, but I would almost pay that for another Model 7. Yes, they're that good.
