FS, Partscaster tele- price reduction ( parts prices added )

Couple of quality partscaster teles here-

‘Black Magic’-----( STILL AVAILABLE )

This was just an experiment with a few parts that came together nicely, an attempt to make a telecaster shaped Les Paul custom.

Heavy mahogany 2 piece body, and a quality mahogany neck with ebony fretboard.

Pair of Bareknuckle Stormy Monday pickups, and a self cut pearloid pickguard.

Rest of the hardware is pretty good quality standard stuff, and it came together nicely.

Again, I can’t be more specific about a lot of the parts without it all coming apart again, so it is what it is, quite magical, and the experiment was a success.

Same applies about a few tweaks, the pickguard is there for looks, and the pickup surrounds are just bling. There is a dowelled screw hole in the headstock which needs sorting, and the finish looks just fine as is.

I’d be looking at £450 £425 posted for this, again a fair price I think.

Part out prices,

Neck, mahogany with ebony fretboard, plus locking tuners, £150 plus postage

Bareknuckle Stormy Mondays, matched pair in nickel covers, with metallic surrounds, £150 plus postage

Body, slightly relic'ed 2 piece mahogany body, belly cut, with bridge, jack socket and pickguard, £150 £100 plus postage

I don't really want to split it up, but if someone wants any of the parts, this post will be moved to parts section.

‘Honey’------( SOLD )

I was inspired to build this after seeing Bonamassa’s British Blues explosion a few years back, check it out on YT, it’s awesome.

Based on a Nocaster with neck humbucker, it has a lightweight alder body, which is finished with a light coat of Danish oil - hence the name ‘Honey’.

Neck is an extremely flamey no name example, quite a chunky profile, plenty of life in the frets, quite glossy.

Hardware is mostly Fender branded, and I tried to be as faithful to the parts as I could.

Not sure of the bridge pickup, without disassembly, but I do know the neck is either a Gibson Burstbucker 1 or 2, it came out of a 57 goldtop reissue.

Tone, vol and selector are a pre made high quality assembly, it was just easier to get it right that way.

When I build these things, it is always the intention to tweak a few things during the next string change, and in this case there are a couple of things to do maybe, I would de-gloss the back of the neck, and the body would look awesome if it had an aged nitro finish-but that’s not doable for me, so it would be staying as is. There is a bit of buckle rash to the back as I did do a couple of gigs with it, and there are a lot of tonal options here.

I can’t be more specific about parts without dis-assembly, so I’ll let the pics speak for themselves.

I’m looking for £425 posted, which I think is a fair price.

Happy to answer any other questions, but I am not going to start pulling them apart any time soon.
