For sale is a Fender MIA body black (Alder), including bridge and pickguard

Bare body weighs in at approx 4lb 12oz

Bridge is an Am Std with block saddles

Pickguard is W/B/W with a mini-hum cutout and includes screws

Control plate is fully wired with a Fender switch, CTS pots, Conrad-Dublier cap, output jack and bridge ground.

Finish is in good condition with normal wear: swirls, light surface scratches, mild rash and 1 chip about 1/4" wide on the upper bout (pictured)

Asking $240 shipped / PP

I am also selling separately (not pictured) a Broadcaster bridge pickup, $45

Will let it all go together for $270

is this from a whole Tele you once had? Honestly, how did the body resonate?

^^ I forgot to mention (just edited) it is an Alder body. I built it up with a Warmoth neck, which I swapped onto my other Tele build and sold its neck a few months ago. Body resonates nicely.

Here it is in its heyday

I am tempted, gonna sleep on it. If someone does it right, they could have a nice Tele for about $550 with this body. Maybe more like 600.

+1 That's spot on to what they cost me to build

I am not certain it is a nashville per se, but it is factory routed for 3 pups, factory shielded with grounding screws and micro tilt neck. To my knowledge these are only available on MIAs
