FS: Ash Tele body blank and flame maple neck

DiscoStu

Tele project I started a couple of years ago that I'm not going to finish.

FS: Ash Tele body blank.

I made the 2-piece body from wood sourced from Simnett guitars over on the UKGB forum and it was originally going to be a La Cabronita, but I changed my mind before doing the pickup routing so it's a blank canvas for whatever you want to do with it.

43mm, or 1 3/4" thick. Currently weighs 3.02Kg, or 6lbs 10oz but this will reduce once all the cavities have been routed.

SOLD: The 1-piece neck is a stunning piece of flame maple (tiger maple) which I bought on the MR forum. I forget the original maker and can't now look it up thanks to Future Publishing! I have fitted a set of Axesrus deluxe vintage tuners. There are some indentations on the headstock, and some light wear marks visible on the skunk stripe when caught in the light.

25.5" scale length, 43mm at the nut, 56mm at the heel, 12" radius. Fat C shape. Weighs 754g, or 1lb 10oz.

Each item £100 delivered, within the UK.

Judging by the tint & construction, I'm guessing that neck was from Kavannagh Customs?

DiscoStu

I honestly don't know, @guitargeek62. What makes you think it is?

guitargeek62

I had one with a ridiculously similar tint and figure, plus that little shelf of wood in front of the nut that almost makes it look like a two-piece.

*edit* Unless that's just a trick of the light?

DiscoStu

It's a one-piece neck.

That neck is beautiful

D neck.... So it has a bit of girth to it?

Any suggestions how to tell the shape for sure, other than sawing through it?

A tool I've never owned, @Roland! Is there a specific fret to measure at?

DiscoStu

Neck thickness measures 0.854" at the 1st fret, 0.936" at the 12th, so I'm going with Fat C. Here's the profile at the 12th fret:
