So, as I was cruising the internet for parts for my first telecaster (see thread in into forum), I came across this. It was an abused Teisco and I thought, "I always wanted a hollow body...". No pickups, guards or plates. Just the body, a god-awefully crap neck and the bridge. I built it in tandem with my tele, although in hindsight I shouldn't have, made some of the same paint mistakes. The tremolo is useless, it's an automatic de-tune when you use it. I put an LP neck on it, but I think the nut still needs some filing to get the action lower. I have the bridge as low as it will go, but I could drop in some longer screws to get the last 1/16". Pickups are Gibson PAFs. Wood trim is all rimu. Sprauge CAP, CTS pots and switchcraft jack. Original LP three way.

I think this thing is dead sexy.
