Now Sold Custom Tele (ok it' s a bitsa)

gary_mac

I suspect that I could get more parting this out but it plays nice and looks the part, so I'll offer it up here at a decent price first.

All good components:
Fender Mexican body (purchased on the forum)
Maple neck/board, with 12" radius, finished in vintage tint nitro.
Width at nut 41 mm.

Good quality wiring and parts, CTS, Switchcraft etc.
Entwistle pickups.
Uprated output socket.

Fret work all good.
Truss rod functions perfectly. 

Weight is 7lb 9oz.

Condition is mostly excellent, although there is cracking to the paint on either side of the neck pocket. I was aware of this when I purchased the body, it hasn't got any worse and does not extend into the wood. It's visible in one of the pics, down below.

I spent a fair bit of time and money on this project but I'm not expecting to recoup my outlay, or to cover my time. I'm offering it up at what I consider a very fair price and therefore will not be open to offers. If it doesn't sell, then I'll part it out.

Please note: The case is not included in the sale.


£290. Collection preferred, I'm in Herts. If posting is required, let me know and I will get a quote.

Thanks for that. I thought it would fly at that price   Maybe I'll have to part it out.

If I lived closer, I would check it out at least. Looks like a bargain. Good luck.

Nice. hope you don’t mind if I ask a couple of questions? 

Where did you get the neck and what sort of shape and profile is it, slim, chunky? 

What make is the bridge? 

If I did go for it I’d need it posting out, have you got a decent box to send it in if there’s no case? 

Thanks.

 Hi and thanks for the interest.

I bought the neck from a seller on Bass Chat.

I'll have a proper measure up and get back to you.

I have a decent box, would prefer to post it with neck off and all wrapped, prior to going in the box.

boogieman

Cool, thanks.

The neck thickness at the first fret is around 24 mm and at the twelve fret, around 22 mm.

boogieman

Thanks. I’ll check the piggy bank.
