The buyer here. All done. Thank you everybody that contributed especially @UHAS of course.

I've never built anything this cheaply and it ain't perfect. But it ain't that bad either. And it looks pretty smart I reckon. Costs:

£55 Body and neck per ad above. A ding and some scratches. Nothing front visible.

£32 new tuners and bits and pieces from www.axecaster.co.uk that I didn't already have in my (used) parts bin or were gifted to me

£80 a used set of DiMarzio Area Ts

167 quid all in

It's all all good plays very well and intonates close to perfectly.

Except... it's really properly heavy - like a CBS '70s Tele... 9 pound area I think. I'm so used to 7-8 pounds Also has a slightly high fret that needs bit of love and attention.

The recipient of this is a bass player mainly and he's pretty fit so he so he can deal with it... or give it back to me! Mostly he'll be playing it at home sitting down and the weight disappears.

He gets to see it at the weekend. Hope he likes it! If he doesn't I'll offer it up for sale here and donate the money to charity of the buyer's choosing.

What do you think?

DIBS!!!!

OP here. 

He’s a very happy chappie. Took him a while to take it in.  He just said “oh mate…
oh mate” a few times and them played
it for a while. 

Here’s the hand over.

Virtuous circle. 

What’s nice too is he’s just had a load of work come in  now that lock down has eased and he’s very pleased indeed  about that too. Plus it’s his birthday v soon so he’s all smiles. We had some beers in the garden after a play and the handover.

I still consider myself a relative newby to TFB. I haven’t really connected big time with major characters or spent loads of time... I’ve bought and sold a bit.. had some great discussions and received good advice... I love that TFB seems to have a big heart sometimes.  Well done everyone involved.

Bravo to all. A nice thread read from start to finish!
