Jackson Neck + Telecaster Alder body + Natural Finish.

A year back in a tragic accident, which involved me getting drunk and riding a cycle towards my Jam room, with my guitar on back. Now I don't know the exact reason, whether it was me being drunk or the crappy quality strap of guitar bag.
And the guitar fell down, and its neck cracked . so I ordered a new neck. And by the time (3 weeks ) I received the new neck, I managed to fix the old one.
And then I had a spare Jackson PS-4 Performer neck, so I decided to get a body for this guitar. And according to me Telecaster body is the best looking body. so I went for it. And this was my 1st guitar building/assembling project. This is how it looks :

Thanks !
I got it for less than 1/3rd of its original price (I paid 500 SEK ), because it had a little line (open knot) on the belly cut.
Mainly I was afraid if I would ever find a telecaster body that will fit the Jackson neck appropriately, and I was lucky to find this one. Many bodies in the store had a bit small cut for neck. This one was just perfect even the screw holes for the neck perfectly aligned with the neck screw holes.

Nice, I dig that guitar! Nice settings too. Did your belly contour have an appendectamy? I'm viewing these on my phone and can't make that out

May be, I mainly use bridge pickup all the time. but I ve heard about some nice clearance sale at local guitar shop in few days, i'll drop in and see if there are any nice prices on pickups. The bridge pickup is a stock Jackson J70 pickup. And this pickup ain't bad at all. In fact it sounds quite nice and warm.

Hehehe, yeah, you are right. It had a small open knot in the wood, and for that reason I got that body for less than 1/3rd of the original price.
