Nice Guitar Bodies

Here are a nice pair of bodies – offers considered

Squire by Fender SE bodies, which are full thickness, 45mm, made from Agathis which is closely related to mahogany, it’s heavier and harder than alder, its density is actually very close to Ash. These date from the early 2000s and are both in great condition.

We always have a small selection of ‘nice bodies’ which are competitively priced.

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.
