Fender Alder Telecaster Body - Vintage Bridge Routing - Candy Apple Red

This alder Fender Telecaster body arrived in mint condition. It's medium weight and all the routes were cut with precision. The finish isn't too thick or too thin either. It's a Goldilocks Telecaster body. The only holes I had to drill were for the control plate and pickguard. I joined this body with a MIJ maple neck and it fits perfectly snug. The neck pocket was also perfect. I didn't need to add a shim for the neck angle. The guitar sounds and plays great. This is a real deal, genuine Fender Telecaster body. I'm very happy with it.

Really nice Mexican body for my build. This shipped fast and came in perfect shape. I had purchased another body from an off brand, and it just didn't all fit well. Purchased this body and everything snapped right into place. It's a beautiful telecaster.

All holes are pre-drilled except the pick-guard. But, remember this is a vintage body so the holes for the neck pickup are also pre-drilled. I set this up as a vintage Tele with a 5-hole pickguard and the neck pickup mounted into the guitar. It also only takes vintage sized bridges so I installed a vintage 3 saddle Gotoh bridge. I used a Fender roasted maple neck with medium tall frets and it fit perfectly. I installed a vintage custom shop 1962 neck pickup and vintage custom shop Broadcaster bridge pickup with no problems. Beautiful finished product- a modern blackguard that plays beautifully.

Everything fit perfect with this body. Hole lined up and neck pocket was perfect!!

Nice router work and finish. Although the router cit out for the bridge is not covered by the Fender bridge as it is slight larger than the bridge and a small portion is visible after the bridge installation.

Color is amazing, heavy, great quality. No. Complaints

I ran into a real nice Tele neck at a second hand shop this weekend and wanted a body to join it with. I'm not a huge stickler for where bodies are made in, but I do like quality and wanted it to be a Fender body. It arrived in a day and it looks great and everything fits as it should. Not too heavy too, the whole guitar is a tad over 8 lbs, which is not abnormal for a Tele. Very happy with the purchase and even happier with my new Tele.

Well crafted. Excellent finish. I didn't have to make any modifications. This was an experiment. Build a new Telecaster from genuine spare parts. Added a toasted maple neck, Duncan pickups, Fender hardware...success. A slight neck adjustment, done. Very pleased. An odd color for a Tele, but I like it!!!

Fit and finish was excellent. Pricey…but you get what you pay for.

No complaints, flawless body as expected. Nice classic color!

Not much to say. As advertised. Good quality.

Excellent body. Excellent finish. Would buy another without question.

Partscaster project done right: Allparts neck and miscellaneous hardware (sourced from numerous parts drawers) all fit snuggly in this body. Strings are straight running perfectly parallel to the neck and with proper spacing all thanks to the pre-drilled CNC machined bridge screw pilot holes on this body. Really, no hassle, no sweat. 10/10 would recommend!
