Necks for a Tele (Allparts body)

PVO_Dave

I err, 'accidentally' bought an Allparts pink paisley tele body from the States today on eBay.. so along with the explorer, I'll also be putting together my first partscaster!

When it comes to getting a neck, would I be better getting an Allparts one? I'm thinking about the pocket fitment more than anything, if that's pretty much standard then maybe @GSPBASSES might have something similar / better for sale (maple C shape)?

I'd recommend @GSPBasses without hesitation.

I've no doubts of the quality @TTony, just the fitment, I'm new to putting guitars together, so not sure on tolerances etc.. with necks / neck pockets between builders.

You could take a couple of measurements to be absolutely sure, but that's all GSP would need to make you something that would fit very nicely.

Or, depending on how far away you are, you'd be welcome to pop over and try the birdseye one (which is one of GSP's standard builds) into the pocket of the body when it arrives.

Thanks for the offer @TTony - Unless the Allparts bodies are a standard / known size, it'll have to wait a few weeks

Wudtone is however on order ready!

Hopefully @GSPBASSES will be along to comment at some point

I'm just of to the workshop I'll have a look for a Maple / Maple Tele neck for you or any one else who needs a neck.

Thanks

Sorry it's such a vague / potentially stupid question around neck pocket fitment, but hopefully you can steer me right

I have got several part built Maple / Maple necks but none ready to sell, it will be about two weeks before I have any finished.

I'll send you a PM
