2021 Partscaster Barncaster Pinebody Telecaster Electric Guitar

Another no-video-clip one, sorry!

Mr. Fin spied this knotty-pine Tele body on a shelf in the workshop and claimed it a couple weeks back. I had some hardware here but he located the rest of the bits and we threw it all together on Friday last week.

It's got an Allparts neck, Victory goldfoil pickup at the neck, mystery-Tele bridge pickup, Mastery bridge (!), good 500k pots and Orange Drop cap in the harness, retro-style cupcake knobs, a bakelite barrel switch tip, parts-bin freebie Gotoh locking Kluson-style tuners (Reese! I know!), new bone nut, and a leather pickguard made by his friend. Yes, it says "Rock" on it.

Pure barncaster.

My favorite detail is the translucent tortoise pickup surround at the neck which allows that pickup to be adjustable in height and hides the butchered rout we needed to do to fit it in the first place.
