I've only had one, A white solid body.
The body fit one of their necks nicely, but a Fender spaced neck plate doesn't line up.

I ran into another problem later that the bridge route and string thru holes were like3/8" or something too far from the neck pocket to intonate correctly.

Aside from having those issues to fix, it was lightweight, and finished well. (white, how bad could it be?)

thank you

I have an Eden neck and it is mostly fine but rough in details. The tuner holes have been drilled by somebody free-hand, obviously as an afterthought, and they are fizzled out.

The truss rod screw looks like it's in a funny position but IIRC it's functional.

For Tele bodies I have seen cheap American offers on ebay just today, that's where I'd go first.

Note that even if the neck pocket is tight as delivered, if the wood is insufficiently aged it will shrink and you'll end up with a loose neck pocket anyway.

wharped like a potato chip:mad:

Again, I've only had one eden body, but 5 of their necks. For inexpensive necks, they are pretty nice. My B/G double bender guitar still has one of their necks, and it is stable and straight.

I have a partscaster with an eden thinline body,mighty mite neck and Keystone pickups.

The Eden body is light weight and very resonant and was well finished.It was not drilled for string through body bridge nor for neck mounting. I chose a Wilkinson bridge that allows string through or top loading and made it a top loader.

I had the neck and bridge mounting done by a tech as I do not have access to a drill press.That was a smart move and inexpensive. I mounted the neck pickup with a chromed surround plate and avoided a pickguard altogether.

The guitar sounds great and I attribute some of that to the Resonant Eden body.
