I used to play an original 1972 Fender Telecaster.
Damn fine guitar it was too.
Until I dropped it down the stairs, and broke the headstock.

I gave it back to my little brother, (who actually owned it!)
and he had it repaired last year, (Or the year before).
It plays as good as ever...or so he says.

I had late 50's Strat and Jazzmaster - sold them both around 1962 when
I took up classical (I was in the Army and had no place to store an
amplifier, so I dumped all of the gear). As it turns out, much like my
first marriage, this was not the best financial decision I ever made...

It's tough to break a Fender neck due to it's construction being of a
single piece of straight grain maple - Leo Fender was a very smart
dude. OTOH, the single most important question when dealing with
vintage Gibsons is whether the neck has been broken.

The good news is that a new neck can be eaisly found or can be custom
made to your specs. I think you'd like the guitar even more if you did
that.

Back in the early 70's the local price on Strats would be about $125
or $150 for an early 60s or late 50s model. They were pretty much a
comodity item and easy to find. I no longer keep close watch but these
Strats were going for about $16K to $25K+ in eBay last time I looked.
Not bad for a mass produced factory guitar!
