Hey folks,
As some of you know, I recently bought a super-cheap telecaster body from Guitar Fetish just because it looked cool and there was a thread about such finishes.
The body itself is kinda crappy: The dimensions are wrong, and the general quality is far below average. But it is super light and I actually quite like the finish. Having received it I was inspired to do something that I never attempted before: Make a nice playable guitar out of the cheapest bits possible.
The rules I set for myself were: spend the least money possible, it's ok to use bits I already have, and the final result has to be something I could use on stage.
With that in mind I began! Here's the bits that I've got:
One super cheap tele body, one chrome neck pickup thing, one neck plate, a couple of knobs, a pair of strap locks, a set of compensated brass tele bridge saddles, and a set of threaded neck inserts. Let's have at it!
