Like the title says, this is a MIM Telecaster with a WDmusic Body. The Bridge is a standard MIM bridge, cept I replaced the saddles with goth saddles (They're chrome plated brass, I just like the sound better). The electronics are also the standard MIM electronics (pots, switch), But theres a third hole drilled in the control plated for a coil splitting mini toggle.
The neck is a standard MIM tele neck, cept it has a Fairly large U shape instead of the standard C shape most MIM's seem to have. Its closer to the 50's reissue tele's I've played, but not quite as HUGE as those. Still pretty big though. The neck is from a 99 tele, so its still got the smallish vintage frets (there is some fret wear, but no pitting, and really nothing that couldn't be worked out with a fret dress), and a 9.5" radius. The nut is the original MIM nut. It has Schaller locking tuners, rather than the original fender stamped MIM tuners. It also has a second string tree (d & g stings) installed, cause after putting on the schaller tuners, I was getting ringing above teh nut, but the second string tree eliminated that.
The Body is just a Metallic Gold, Alder, WDmusic replacement body. Nothing fancy. Its got the standard 2-singles tele route. None of this swimming pool bussiness, haha. So if you'de wanna install a neck bucker, that'de require some routeing (part of the reason I'm selling it).
Instead of the tele jack cup, I used a "foot ball" jack plate, cause I hate those jack cups. And Its got dunlop strap lock, strap buttons (I'll include the peices that connect to a strap too).
The pickups are a Duncan hotrails in the bridge, and a GFS lil' puncher in the Neck. With the coil tap switch, ya can get a nice thick Bucker sound. Or a more traditional tele single coil sound. (although the single coil sound isn't 100% tele like. But still good.)
There are some stickers on the body, but they haven't really been on there that long. So they can be removed, and there shouldn't be any discoloration under neith them. I can either remove them before I ship the guitar, or I can leave em on if you'de prefer to take them off yourself.
The guitar hasn't left my house since I got the body from WD (in december), so theres really not much wear on the body at all. No scratches I could find, although I'm sure theres probably some somewhere, I just can't find em. Only issue is, theres some sort of strange, white discoloration near the stringe ferrels on the back of the body(around the d-g-b string area). No Idea what it is though.
Now for the pictures...haha...
First a couple body shots.
Back of body...(You can see the white stuff near the string ferrels if you look)
The neck...
Finger board.
Back of neck (schaller tuners).
Head stock.
Close up of control plate (showing third hole)
Now I would really prefer to sell it as a Whole guitar, but if I can find a buy for the body & the neck, then I'll part it out. I can also sell it with No pickups, or I could even take out the current pickups, and install the original MIM tele pickups if you'de like.
I'm not sure how much to ask really. So I'm gonna start at $325 (+shipping) exactly as it is right now (or with the MIM pickups). Or $300 (+ shipping)without pickups. I'm also open to trades (full or partial) on the right things.
I'll be shipping it Double boxed, and in a Gigbag, With Plenty of padding to make sure it doesn't get damaged during shipment.
