[quote name='leschirons' post='633311' date='Oct 22 2009, 10:44 AM']I fancy buying another guitar that's becoming available shortly so need to clear a few bits out.
This started out by me buying a body from a luthier here who'd just started supplying his own bodies. I then got a clone Tele neck off french ebay. I decided to be a bit different and added a Strat bridge (that works) and a pair of Epiphone Alnico V pick-ups (new) These were fitted by the luthier.
It looks great and leaving any labour aside, I'm not likely to get my money back but hey-ho, it was an adventure. The headstock decal was added by the luthier and it also carries a Fender California neck plate just to complete the look.
THIS IS NOT A GENUINE TELECASTER but plays, looks and feels superb. Can't really see in the pics but fingerboard is nicely figured. I can give anyone buying, a padded gig bag and could get the guitar to the UK next week.
The bits alone stand me in 310 Euros but in reality I know it's probably only worth about £275. (Hope so anyway) The whole thing stands me in excess of 400 Euros. It is more or less pristine and it's only issue (with me anyway) is the pick-guard was over cut at the neck joint by about 1.5mm.
Cheers for looking.[/quote]
I take it thats not a standard Tele scratchplate though. leschirons. wondered if a standard one would fit without holes showing.
