A couple tele-style bodies for sale

Guys, I've got a couple tele-style bodies I need to move:

1) nice unfinished tele body that I'd let go for around $100 + shipping. Not sure of the manufacturer but I know it came from Victor Litz here in Maryland and they sell a lot of Mighty Mite stuff, so that's a real possibility. There's a little nick on the back but it's tiny (hard to see but you can feel it) and could easily be filled before finishing. Also, no string holes (great for a top-loader project?) and no hole for the jack cup. Has a narrow neck pocket that may need some sanding depending on your neck. I have three tele necks here and one fits perfectly while the other two are so tight I'm afraid to "force" them in.

2) Also have a beat-to-**** plywood tele-style body for sale. There are several dings through the paint on all sides but it still looks pretty good from a distance! ;) It's kind of a wacky setup in that it has a tele bridge EMG in the NECK, and the bridge accepts a strat-type P/U! :wrf: It seems a bit of a non-standard setup too; I don't believe that off-the shelf pickguards would line up with the existing holes. So, I'd sell complete with bridge (bridge p/u has already been sold), EMG neck p/u, control plate and controls, and a black pickguard (that fits) for around $70 + shipping or so. I'd take less for the body by itself, but I think it's be better to go as a set (unless you don't mind re-drilling the body). The neck pocket on this one seems a bit narrow too so I'd include the equally beat-up neck that fits for an extra $30 or so ($100 for everything).

Sorry to hijack, but what pickup do you have there in the bridge of that red Tele?

Fusion 1 is right. It's either a Little '59 or a JB Jr. Hmmm. The p/u was in a used guitar I bought so I don't really know which it is. I sold it as a little '59 but didn't even know about the JB jr's existence 'til now. I hope I'm not wrong about its identity! The buyer hasn't picked it up yet so I guess I should be able to tell by measuring the DC resistance. Any other way to tell them apart? There are no markings on the p/u other than the Seymour Duncan on top and a little sticker on the magnet that says "BC". I want this guy to know what he's getting!

What type of wood is the first one?

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm at least fairly sure it's NOT ash. I have an ash tele body here and the grain looks much "wider" on that one. My guess would be alder? Hopefully someone with more knowledge of different type woods could chime in? :help:

One more bump.

PLEASE don't make me put these on ebay! I HATE ebay!

Re: A couple tele-style bodies for sale

Hmmm, I want to say it's pretty damn heavy. All I have to weigh it with at home is a bathroom scale and I'm not sure how accurate that'd be. Maybe my office shipping department will let me use their scale. If so, I'll report back with a weight soon.

One barely-alive brain cell is telling me that, way back when I bought the body, the sales guy told me it was ash. But, as I mentioned earlier, when compared to a "known" ash tele I have, the grain looks quite different. So, I just figured the guy was uninformed (salesmen never lie, right? ;) ).

I appreciate you guys trying to help me figure this out!

Did you ever find out what that unfinished tele body was made of? is it still available?
