For sale is my SC Relics commission build Tele. I have swapped the neck from the original build neck to another SC Relics Tele finished neck as I think the maple looks cooler with the sunburst body. I had it refretted with Stainless Steel frets about 8 months ago and needless to say they are in perfect condition. The fret work is absolutely stunning and perfectly rounded plus incredibly comfortable. I always thought the fretboard radius was 10”, however the tech who did the refret advised it was a 7.25”. The guitar went back to SC Relics for some additional aging as I preferred it to look a bit more aged and I also added some small marks in a friend’s workshop. It is all high-quality components and sounds full, beefy, and gnarly in the bridge. I know that splitting it and selling the parts separately might be more lucrative, but I want to follow the simplest path and keep it as a guitar.
You can see a very quick and dirty demo. Please excuse the dodgy lighting, playing and tuning!

I am open to offers for this.
Have a bump on me for a beautiful guitar...
Matt from Fidelity has smoothed the stainless steel fret ends and they are incredible. Easily as good as any custom guitar I have played. Unfortunately I have a bill to pay and am selling off some guitars and amps to raise funds.
I am open to offers but no trades.
Potentially interested in trade for a Suhr Classic Pro + cash my way.

I can appreciate a Fender logo on a guitar is something to aspire to and you will know you are getting a certain level of quality, as well as the heritage, history, brand etc.
I certainly don't want to turn this into 'all strats and teles are just partcasters anyway'.
However, in my humble opinion, the quality of this guitar is far superior to a Mexican road worn tele or even a US made fender professional. Scott (SC Relics) work is outstanding and up there with Fender Custom shop relic finishes - check out his insta or the made in the UK section of this forum. This is just my opinion though
