Wow. I have just bought an american Deluxe telecaster body on ebay! This body is one of the nicest looking teles I have ever seen. I love the aged cherry sunburst with the white binding. This purchase is just the body though, without the hardware and everything. So I will start from there, and slowly build it up to a nice fender.
The body is said to be in "Very good" condition, only a few scratches and a small ding. Can't wait to recieve it!
Lately, I have been thinking of building myself a tele, but I discovered that it was going to be very expensive to buy all parts separately. So I decided to start from a Squier, and the mod it the way I want.
It is metallic red, and looks beautiful. Though I am going to make a few changes. I will put on a bigsby tremolo, change the pickguard to white pearl, and probably the pickups too depending on how they sound.
