Looking for Tele body (nitro)
What's Hot
The time has come for me to source a Telecaster for all of my Robbie Robertson needs, got some touring early new year which I want to be ready for.
I don't think I can afford CS so I'm looking to build something interesting.. ideally I'm after a black nitro finish body which can wear, relic is fine too, thinline even better that just seems so rare to find. Would also consider nice sunburst or white colours.
Open to any partscaster offers. At this stage I'm just intrigued to see if anyone has anything.
Cheers!

Tried the new Vintera II thinlines this week, didn't think much of it in the shop.
The Baja Tele is still one of the best bang-for-buck guitars out there. You could pick up a second hand one and have the change for a refinish. I've just had mine reworked to be a blackguard tribute with a cunife in the neck.
An ashtray bridge plate will cover the the bridge pup route if you wanted a traditional bridge pup...
Posting it here as a favour to my old assistant/work buddy Otto who made this gorgeous body in my workshop last year. Swamp ash, made to a 50s USA template, Callaham parts, Monty's pickups. Lovely thing. Used all my spray gear etc and he's a really great luthier and painter. He's making handbuilt archtops from his home workshop these days but a few telecasters for sale in London to attempt to pay some bills.
It was for sale as a full guitar in SixtySixty Sounds on denmark Street until recently - the heat this summer didn't agree with the neck so he took it back to build a new neck but is now selling the body as he needs money.
He has the loaded body listed for £650 but I know he would do a deal. I can speak to him

The OP is thoroughly confused and worried about ending up with another frankenstein partscaster.
