Hello, just donated. I have a family friend that gave me a list of guitars that he was looking for prices on. The following is the information I was given. If you require a $2 donation per guitar I understand and I would appreciate the first:

Fender Telecaster: Serial: S856050 on headstock, with original red velvet lined hard shell case. Excellent condition.
