FS: Warmoth Telecaster (geetar) project SOLD
£450
Canterbury

Beedster · May 27, 2019

I bought this a while back with the intention of stripping the body back to bare wood, and finishing the build. I simply haven't got around to it and have so many other 'projects' lying around I think I'm unlikely to. Very high quality parts as you'd expect of Warmoth (the neck - which is pretty much unused - retails at more than I'm asking for the whole project). Please ask questions if you're unsure as to any of the components/condition. For £450 and a little work you'll have yourself a very very high quality Tele. The only component that is missing is the output jack and plate, which can be picked up for a few pounds online (circuit is solderless).

Components

Body: Warmoth Chambered Swamp Ash Telecaster with three contours, a belly cut out, a right forearm chamfer, and a slight reduction in the thickness of the heel. The neck pickup rout is for a standard humbucker, the bridge rout is standard tele. As you can see, the previous owner put a trans blonde/butterscotch finish on this which is now largely gone. There's a number of options, but it doesn't look too bad as it is to be honest.

Neck: 59 rounded profile, 1.75 inch nut width (44.5mm), 22 frets, some flaming on front and back. Full gloss Warmoth varnish both front and back, frets are SS6150 stainless, 10-16 inch Compound Radius, Abalone face dots and Abalone side dots, Graph Tech White TUSQ nut, 25.5 inch scale. Very slight (1mm) knock in back of neck that I've tried to show in the close up of the neck, this doesn't notice when you're playing. Fit between heel of neck and body absolutely perfect!

Bridge: Gotoh contemporary telecaster bridge https://www.wdmusic.co.uk/hardware-parts-c1/bridges-tailpieces-c2/tele-bridges-c98/gotoh-contemporary-tele-bridge-p691

Pick guard: Warmoth, black/red/black 3 ply, unused still with plastic covering, standard tele configuration with 8 screw holes, exact fit for the Warmoth body

Front PUP: Bare knuckle, Stormy Monday humbucker https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/pickup/humbucker/stormy-monday

Warmoth switch plate + knobs + 4 way switch.

Circuit: Toneshaper solderless. Enables pretty much infinitely variable tone choice at the flick of a switch (full instructions included).
