A few more great parts for sale as I make some tough guitar decisions and rebuild my recording rig...
Another (the last one I have sitting around) semi loaded Mahogany Tele project body. This one has some great things going for it and like any project, some issues. Great stuff: nice, lightweight (sold to me as and definitely feels < 4lbs.) mahogany Tele body that comes partially loaded with a black steel bridge (that appears very much like a Hipshot to me with the flared edges on the bottom, but I cannot confirm that), ferrules, neck plate and screws, and electro socket. Light satin finish that feels great. I had this together on a guitar and it had great tone and played great despite the issues below.
The issues are that the neck pocket is a little too wide and that leaves the neck a little off centered (more fretboard margin (between the string and edge of fretboard) on the bass side than treble). I attached a pic to try to show it. I planned to use some mahogany veneer to center the neck and redrill. The other is that the previous owner made a notch in the body by the Electrosocket apparently to allow an L jack cable some room to curve the way he wanted (not sure how that works, but didn't push the issue). This is cosmetic, but noticeable. Also the ferrules are not perfect, but work without any problem.
Priced to sell at $90 shipped/PP'ed to the lower 48.
