Hi.
Some time ago I wanted to make a (friendly) joke on the Telecaster guitars.
I had TOO many leftovers from the Tele project.
So I decided to make the “RedNeck Tele” project.


Which meant some sort of mixture between the famous “Tele” thing and sort of the Cigar Box Guitar.
And it was almost accomplished when my family members started to beg: “It’s so many good parts! And you want to waste it on such an infamous body?”
Well, I felt really ashamed. That’s why this project was stuck for a long time.
The only missing part in this project was the right body as I wanted to use some sort of “cigar box”.
So I started to search on eBay for some kind of an affordable body.
And here it is coming!
The beautiful Blood Red Tele Replacement body!

I have found it on eBay. But the seller appears to be in my close neighbourhood!
So I’m going to pick up the item tomorrow.
I’ll keep you posted on this project update.
So stay in touch
