I fancy building or modding a thinline as a project.

I will supply neck so I could get a whole guitar and mod or parts.

Interested in a finished body pref nitro.

Would prefer Fender custom or classic colour. Really don't want sunburst!

got anything?

cheers

    Hey Richard! Hope you're well. I have a dream guitar inbound and if I like it as much as I'm hoping I will, I'm going to have to shift some stuff, including my faithful tele thinline I think 

    Some changes to it since this picture, now has brass Gotoh intune saddles and a handwound Q-pickups gold foil cover neck pickup (confusingly a trad tele pickup but wound to be more like a strat pickup, not a gold foil  o) Bridge pickup is a Fralin Blues Special. Really resonant guitar, but I figure one day I can build myself another one. It's definitely got more wear and dings than this picture shows as this was just after I assembled it. Can send you some up to date pics. Bigsby has been off and on again and tuning is pretty stable. I missed the trem too much!

    If you're interested let me know maybe we can work out a deal? with or without neck or whatever you think if any interest...

    Hi Jon
    Nice to hear from you.
    Yes, I'm interested and that looks great.
    Never tried a Goldfoil.. or variant of it. I had been contemplating single coil bridge with TV Jones neck,... but no fixed plans just bouncing ideas of myself and looking at what others have done

    Yes, please send me updated pics and a parts spec and I'll get back to you. 

    Cheers

    I only need a body strictly speaking, but it depends. I fancy a Bigsby on it and don't have one
