You asked about the finish...I'd just buy it and play it and then decide...you can spend serious money or do it yourself...It's a free world ya know...there's lots of very talented people refinishing guitars...and you don't HAVE to have it done by THE BEST guy in the world....If you'd like to know...go to the telecaster website and ask around for estimates...I think the real deal corksniffer refinishers get around $2,500...

whether it's a great player....you should be able to tell by simply playing it a whole lot...they grow on you. and that sound..is unique...you will know if you simply compare it to anything else...it'll be brash and twangy and louder and once you figure it out a bit, you'll be hooked.....good luck and let us know.....

(1200 is a STEAL, by the way.)

I would be more concerned with the electronics than the finish. Before plunking anything down on it, have the seller pull it open in front of you, and go in there armed with pot codes. Check the solder joints and make sure nothing looks "fresh" or sloppy. Make damned sure the pup is stock.

A buddy of mine invested 700 not long ago in a similar situation... '61 Esquire, original finish but you could barely tell since so little was left, replacement pearloid guard, original pup but replacement (dated to the 70's) electronics. Over the course of the year, he found (on ebay, and in various different auctions) a period-correct Tele neck pickup (which he planned to use on another project), a period correct Tele PG, and a period correct wiring harness... Sure, it ain't original, but I've NEVER played a better sounding/feeling Tele (and I've played a real-deal Nocaster).

So.

Forget the finish.

Check those electronics. They're the heart and soul of that axe.
