New Tele Thinline build finished...

A few years ago I started pulling parts together to do a thinline tele style build, but never got around to figuring out a body.

I had a pickguard, a Warmoth strat neck with locking tuners, a set of Lindy Fralin blues pickups and that was pretty much it...

A few weeks ago I stumbled on a listing that was a pre-finished thinline body for under 100 bucks. I thought to myself... how bad could it be? The pictures looked great, so I took a chance and then ordered the rest of the bits to finish the guitar.

When the body arrived I was shocked at how nice it looked. Finish was nearly perfect with just a little weirdness on the inside edges of the f hole, but that really doesn't bother me. The top is 2 piece Ash and the back is 2 piece Alder. Very lightweight. They also got fancy and did some kind of natural masked binding, which I really like a lot.

All of the name brand parts that I got fit perfectly and the screw holes were placed as well as any body I have ever seen. Neck pocket was snug but not too tight.
