Sold Rexter Guitars nitro 50s strat body - 1.6kg - price drop

I've been clearing stuff out from my business mainly on ebay etc for the past few months but have a few bodies I've been hoarding here at home. Need to clear out though!

All bodies made from scratch in my workshop, not bought in. The strats have extra deep contours, built from 3D scans of a Custom Shop 64 cross referenced with 1963 and 1965 originals. They're very nice, far sleeker than other repros IMHO.


Lightweight 2 piece alder - 1.59 kg - wicked looking 50s wide dark burst - £325 shipped

Was keeping this for myself - very thin finish, loads of checking along the grain etc - there are 3 larger dings/areas of missing paint on the edge - two on bottom - one on top edge. I will blend these in with some more wear. These happened during the ageing process as a bit too much heat was used. Otherwise it's  just a uber aged, very lights 50s strat body. Would make a great build  - if it doesn't sell I'll hold onto it as a I have a half built maple neck knocking around.

    Bump for a very nice aged strat body. Lowered price too.
    Don't know why, but embedding pictures here is a proper nightmare for me :)

    How difficult would it be to make that body all black? can i just spray the middle with black nitro?
    Are the trem mounting holes spacing vintage (56mm)?
    Karma......

    Hiya, if you wanted it all black you would be best spraying the whole thing, not just the centre. Probably wouldn't look great without some real time spent on it - 
    Sand it down first, spray black, clear coat etc.

    I'd just buy an unfinished one if that was my aim, but... this is a nice light body - not meaning to patronise or trash idea - just thinking it might be false economy.

    Yep it's 56mm spacing - direct 3d scan from a custom shop and I modelled it with deeper contours from particularly nice vintge models I had through my hands.

    Sorry mate only just seen this. I don’t know if it’s just easy for me on my particular phone vs other phones or a pc - I use the imgur app, hold down on the photo til options appear, click ‘copy link’ and then paste that link into the bit at the top of the comments box here that looks like a bit of paper, and then hit the space bar on my keyboard and it appears in the comments box
