Got me three Tele necks and two bodies and enough parts to put together almost three Teles. Here's a pic of two combinations, but I will change them quite a bit. Maybe use a maple neck on the light blue, maybe have to repaint it as well. Got some different hardware as well. Thinking a stacked bridge bucker for the one on the left, and I'll slightly reshape necks, re-radius and put in SS frets. The one with the bigsby copy has some no name Tele pups I actually really like for sound. The other has Tesla pups and they're somehow a little too tame and 'even' sounding for my taste.

It'll be a challenge to sell 'em for good money but I'll give it a try. Set up real nice, get some great photos taken in good light, and I think I may even make a tiny profit. We will see, Teles are cheap after all usually.

I maybe won't mind if I have to keep the blue one. It does sound great for some stuff and the Bigsby copy works quite well.Image
