Unfinished Tele body and neck - Corona lock in project
I bought this with the intention of building a Tele but have decided that I am going to tart up a Yamaha 102 instead and unless I want a divorce one Tele will have to do.
This is nothing great and believe both parts to be of Chinese origin but nothing glaringly wrong with either part. I was concerned the bridge position was incorrectly routed, but I tried a pup in there and the bridge plate fits with the pup in place.
The body has a Veneered flame top but it is a thin veneer. Quite nice and figured. The output jack isn't squared off like some cheap bodies. There is a small mark in the wood on the bottom RH corner.
The neck is quite nice and I have checked with my crimson ruler and is very straight. This has a heel adjuster. Frets are quite well finished. Neck and body fit well
I think all in all it cost me around £140 so was after £100 posted.
