Any supply for a light relic nitro telecaster body?

William Williamson

I've got a MIM Telecaster, but realised that short of a bridge and a body I'm replacing the whole lot - so was thinking of just having two! Does anyone in the UK do a black nitro-finished body? I'm looking for something along these lines: http://www.musicgalleryinc.com/Fender-Custom-Shop-1950-s-telecaster-Relic-1-Piec-p/r16334.htm

I don't really know what this kind of thing would go for, but would like to not spend boutique prices

A friend on mine Nathan at Brighton Guitar Workshop can make you one.

Could be a good idea, but a little rich for my blood - over £400 just for a body feels like cash I don't have spare right now, when equivalent (admittedly in a colour I don't particularly like) is less than half the price: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Telecaster-Guitar-Body-2pc-Alder-50s-spec-Heavily-Aged-Surf-Green-/112270006970?hash=item1a23d05aba:g:GXcAAOSw241Ye7Cq

There's someone on facebook doing relic bodies - "SC Relics". They look great. Not sure on pricing though.

My first thought would be Graham at Raygun Relics but I'm not sure he's doing spraying at the moment.
He's on here but I don't know if he's been here lately @GrahamM ;

Thank you for the mention!

I can certainly do this. I believe William has been in touch. I'll not be selling on eBay either, I've see a myriad of aged bodies go for various prices but I've seldom read a spec list that I actually believe. I send the buyer photos of each stage of their build so that it's fully documented. Happy to help where I can.
