This handcrafted Telecaster style Maple body is routed to standard specifications. The neck pocket is 55mm in width and 17mm deep. The body itself is 40mm deep and all the routed cavities for the electrical hardware has been treated with purpose made conductivity paint.
The body has been burned and sanded back to provide the aged wood look and also highlight the grain. It has then been engraved with a Aztec design before green wood stain is applied. The body is then protected with 5-6 coats of Nitrocellulose Lacquer. This finish not only shields the body but not also highlights the grain texture making the piece tactile as well as enhancing its beauty.
These bodies arrive pre-routed and are normally 3-piecebody’s that are aimed towards the cheaper end of the market. Subsequently, they are often just base-coated and then given a solid colour before being finished with poly or nitro. However, I feel the beauty of this wood is often overlooked and therefore decided to try and produce a product that will give a unique look to any project build at affordable prices.
Although the designs are mine I am able to engrave anything onto the body if the customer has any ideas or designs in mind. This can include photographs however, due to the increase in time arranging placement of the design and, the increased DPI during the engraving process, this will increase the amount of time to create the body and may increase the price slightly.
I have been custom building electric guitars for over 15years now. If anyone would like a complete custom build please ask for specifications and pricing structures. I build the custom guitars using the same ideology as the body’s and scratchplates I make concerning costs. I think that a fantastic and unique custom build can be achieved without spending thousands(or sometimes 10s of thousands) of pounds without losing quality.
Many thanks for looking at my creations, anyrequests or questions then please feel free to ask. If buyers are based abroador outside mainland UK please arrange your own courier/carriage.
