Buying tips

Compare the asking price with the typical price above before you contact a seller.
Buying locally in Japan avoids import duties and cross-border shipping, and lets you test the Telecaster before paying.
Ask for the serial number, recent photos and whether it has been serviced; check that it powers on and every function works.
Pay through the marketplace or a protected method — never by bank transfer to a stranger.
