Sold Tele Partscaster - SC Relics, now with Tonemaster video

What's Hot
OnparOnpar Frets: 415
edited February 2021 in Guitars £

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!

    Bump for offers. I need to thin the herd as I am looking for an HSS high end strat (Xotic, Suhr) and need to clear some room.

    Price reduced by £100. Need to make space and free up some funds for high end used Strat.

    If that were a flatter fingerboard, I'd have snapped it up.

    Have a bump on me for a beautiful guitar...

    Update.

    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.

    Price drop to 650! This probably cost me close to 3 times that about and a stainless steel refret isn't cheap. This is a good guitar for that money.

  • Oh this is nice.  Great vid, wish I could play like that.  Just the fact it’s SC Relics rather than Fender that puts me off slightly if I’m honest, although I’m sure it’s just as good.  I’ve been looking for road worn tele

    Glad you like the video, thanks!

    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 :)
