46mm thick (± 0.5 mm Deviation)
56mm neck pocket (± 0.5 mm Deviation)

The F Hole hollow body design will produce warmer tones than a traditional solid body guitar. This body is of modern construction and finish but with traditional aesthetics, routed to take a humbucker pickup in the neck and a standard Telecaster pickup at the bridge. The wood is of a lighter type but exceptionally robust.

DIY Telecaster – we have the parts

Building a DIY Telecaster for you…

We had a DIY Telecaster basswood body lying around so we modified it to fit a Telecaster Deluxe scratchplate. We added a Wilkinson hardtail bridge and used up the odd bits of guitar kit we had hanging around, including humbuckers from a 1990s Epiphone Les Paul Special and a neck that was on a plywood generic Telecaster copy, which was probably from the late 1980s or early 1990s. The neck had been refretted at some point and its Rosewood fretboard has a beautiful rich patina. We had to replace the nut as the slots were cut too deep and we added 8mm machine heads are from and old Squier. The wiring loom comes from a Les Paul and the paint is from a random tin in our shed. The intention was to throw it together and make some wall art but… Not sure if it is more Les Paul than Telecaster. Sounds like a Les Paul.

Whatever it is this is it is now a desirable partscaster, semi relic Telecaster copy.
