Any guitar players here? Putting out feelers for this one.
I've got a custom Telecaster Thinline that's built from Warmoth parts that I'm just not clicking with any more.
Telecaster Thinline (semi-hollow, one f-hole) ash body from Warmoth, finished in a translucent butterscotch that makes it look like the '72 Thinline reissue, plus gloss lacquer on top. Beautiful birdseye maple neck w/ skunk stripe from Warmoth, 21 frets, black dot inlays, and a Fender Esquire decal on a Tele headstock up top, finished in really nice glossy lacquer.
MOP/W/B/W '69 Thinline pickguard, housing a three-way selecter and two knurled chrome dome control knobs (master volume and tone). Pickups are two nickel-covered PAF-style humbuckers, not sure of the brand as I got this guitar used. Neck pickup is mounted in the pickguard, bridge is mounted in a cream ring. Bridge is a chrome 6-saddle hardtail Strat-style, goes through to chrome grommets on the back as Warmoth bodies are front-routed. Schaller tuners.
This guitar sounds great, plays great, and is quite versatile, I'm just not feeling it right now. It's in great condition for a guitar that's been played. First few frets show some wear but nothing severe, and all the rest are clean. There's a slight cigarette burn on the headstock just before the low E tuner, but it faces the player and can't be seen on stage. There are a few dings in the finish along the edges of the body (it's a Tele) and a couple nicks on the player side of the strings (I play hard), but that's the extent of the blemishes, and nothing is huge.
I paid $400+ for this thing second hand, so I'm looking to get a good portion of my money back, but I'm not in a hurry so lowballs don't bother.
Here's the guitar:

The back, so you can see the lack of routing and the figure on the neck. I think it's actually curly maple, but whatever it is, it's pretty.

A close-up of the burn, as you can see it only takes up a tiny corner of the side of the headstock.

Finally, a picture of the finish scuffs above the strings. The pic is a little blurry, but other closeups caught too much light.

If anyone wants pics of anything else specific, let me know.
BTW, the guitar needs a pickup height adjustment screw, a new high E string, and a nice once-over on the body and pickups with polish, but I figured I'd wait to do that stuff until someone actually showed a fair amount of interest. Rest assured, this will all be done with care.
