WTB tele body

What's Hot

edited December 2021 in Parts £
Looking for a relatively cheap telecaster body, ideally finished (black or oly white ideally but natural/oiled is cool too) and would really like something loaded or at least part loaded with a bridge and control plate. Doesn't have to be top quality as I just want to try a tele out and this is probably the cheapest way of doing it - already have a strat neck and decent tuners that should do the job for now.

Budget - under £100, cheaper the better tbh so long as it's not a dead piece of plywood or something.

    MIND THE GAP!
    Tele neck pocket has a squared off end. 
    Strat neck has a rounded heel. 

    There will be an embarrassing air gap in the corners of the neck pocket. On a CBS-era Telecaster Deluxe, this is hidden beneath the pickguard. 

    If your neck has a 22nd fret overhang, that might hide your embarrassment. 
    Be seeing you.

    Yeah I'd read that can happen. Doesn't really bother me as it's only a tester at this stage, so would get a proper tele neck if I was to keep it.

    The Fazley FTL218NT tele from Bax music is a ridiculous amount of guitar for the money £59 and they'll deliver quick, mine came in 2 days iirc.

    That does look pretty good! I think what I might actually do is spend a bit more and go for that new Harley Benton TE-62 with the roasted maple neck and nice charcoal frost finish. Should be pretty good and I love the look and feel of roasted maple.
