A bit shocked to see this
« on: March 05, 2008, 05:27:18 PM »
unfortunately i aint quite in the position to buy this back and hold onto it untill i can sell it but i just had an email from a guy in holland asking about a guitar this shop is selling

http://www.theguitarworkshop.co.uk/

Its not on the website but the guitar body was built by me for one of the tutors at the shop to go with a NOS tokai neck he had - a very nice neck it was too.  It was all put together by me as well.  Pickups are Seymours - Jazz in the neck and a rail pickup i cant remember in the bridge




apparently its up for £299!!!  I havnt seen the guitar in about 8 months so not sure of condition now but it still looks good in the photos!!

anyway, obviously a guy in holland is after it... but i thought i would let you all know just incase he changes his mind.

How much did you originally charge for the body?

Looks like a great deal for any Tele fans out there.

i cant remember exactly - less than £200 but the guy is a repeat customer  and the shop had been helpfull to me in the past so i threw in the maple top and black burst as a freebie

He is definately making a loss on it at this price but i guess the tokai on the headstock  and the fact its essentially a frankenstien dictates the resale value... he does tend to buy and sell guitars pretty often as a tutor working in a guitar shop so i guess he just needs some money at this moment in time or wants a new toy- and he still has a LP junior i built... I think!!

The only thing i never liked about this guitar was the rail pickup in the bridge - the neck SD was godly and i tried to convince him to go for something else to compliment it better

I remember that!

It's gorgeous!


If I had a spare £300 I would snatch it up in the blink of an eye.

i noticed that on ebay. I'm after a tele, just not one with a neck humbucker (figure i'd rather have a "real" tele first  :lol: )

Does look like a kickass deal though. those old tokai necks are nice, and I'm sure your (guitar) body is awesome, wez. :)

I'm not sure... The look isn't really 'me', and I'm not liking the look of the radius of that fretboard...
But then again i bet she sounds great (but i'd have to change the bridge pickup for a singlecoil. might be a bit too much hassle)

i cant remember the neck specs exactly but its pretty much vintage fender territory so the radius is probably a bit tighter than a modern tele

I always said the bridge pickup should be changed but its only two wires to do it!!..  

I couldnt make he guitar as cheap as this is going for.
