NY/Hahn 1229 Telecaster

Nice Jazz Tele - Located NY/LI
I will include the original Fralin neck pickup.
The Neck is a full round shape not the thinner shape referred to in Hahn’s description.

There is a nice review from Premier Guitar.

Hahn Description:
The 1229 is a modified or ‘junior’ 228. The goal of the 1229 is to create a similar guitar but with more of a singing quality – much like a Melody Maker style guitar. There is a slight roll off in the high and low frequencies, and the overall attack is slightly less compared to the 228.
The body and neck of the 1229 are mahogany, and the fretboard is rosewood. The body is cut 1/4? thinner than the 228 (making it 1 1/2? thick). This, along with a thinner neck (although any depth is available) make the guitar more pliable, and a bit more like a bow with strings versus a stiff plank with strings. The result is a little less snap and attack, but more follow-on mids or ‘bloom’ around the notes.

$2300 plus shipping.
It comes with a mono vertigo gig bag in great shape.

A used Hahn is the best deal (there have been "stories" of some problems with orders, so buying new is a gamble!). Sweet guitar!
GLWTS!

No gamble here whatsoever, my Hahn 228 is the best Tele I've ever owned, after owning at least a dozen Tele's throughout the years. One thing that sets these guitars apart from everyone else's is how resonant they are, it seems that Chihoe puts the necks down with a press...(kiddingly)
Chihoe is a total OCD when it comes to details and using the best materials too. A great buy at a great price too!

Good luck!
