Swamp ash tele, flame maple / rosewood bound neck.. £250 today!

MattNovak

Hi all,

I'm in the unenviable situation of needing to raise a bit of cash, sharpish. 

Up for grabs is this homebrew tele:



Made from quality components; forgive me but I can't remember where I sourced them all from as I built it some time ago and its had several incarnations, as detailed on this thread: 

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/191154/new-refin-day-aka-third-time-lucky/p1 ;

Specs of the top of my head are:

2 piece swamp ash body, routed for bridge pup only and F bass control plate
flame maple / rosewood bound neck
BB Guitar Labs 'Evil Kiss' handwound pickup (sounds great to my ears)
Aged hardware and tuners

Any questions promptly answered, can also take additional pics if needed.

Cheers!

Matt

Man that’s a silly steal. If only I didn’t already have 30 Teles.

A few details that some of our esteemed members have asked for:

Neck dimensions:

1st fret: 42mm wide, 19mm deep
12th fret: 22mm deep
55mm wide at the heel

10'' radius

Weight - I'd guess around 7lb, its swamp ash so not heavy. Excuse my lack of eloquence, but it feels 'right' for a tele.

Make me an offer! Also: check out the flame - the original pictures don't do it justice; this was taken just now:
