Along with two-tone sunburst, black was 'the' in-house Fender colour of the 1950s. Any music fan of that era will remember two or three guitarists and their Telecasters vividly, Bob Dylan was one of these musicians that inspired and influenced an entire generation of guitarists and Telecaster players.
As an extremely popular colour choice in Telecaster relic projects, we are pleased to be able to offer a very accurate incarnation of these original 1950s and 1960s bodies with genuine nitrocellulose, finished in the exact same fashion as the originals were, then reliced to reveal the wood and undercoat (if requested) beneath. Available in either two-piece alder or swamp ash these bodies are contoured and shaped precisely for the vintage.
Our bodies are built to an extremely high standard specifically for vintage guitar restoration and cloning. They are built and aged with careful study of original vintage guitars so that their contours, shapes, tones and markings are as close as (if not closer than) any other vintage reissue or replica on the market today.
All of our bodies are finished using nitrocellulose and where possible, using original paints and formulas to ensure boutique quality and 'road worn' feel. Many guitarists have struggled to tell the difference between our replica parts and pre-CBS vintage originals: our parts are of just as high a quality as the authentic items that were coming out of Leo Fender's workshop forty years ago.
It goes without saying that our parts are fully compatible with original and replacement Fender guitars and parts, as well as original vintage hardware. If you are at all unsure about compatibility with other parts you already own, or may be considering for your guitar project, please send us a message and ask and we'll be happy to advise.
All of our guitar bodies, necks, accessories, parts, and hardware are aged to customer specification, so if you want something that looks like it's spent it's life being dragged behind a truck, we can do that! Equally if you only want a very light almost-NOS effect, that's just as possible. Just let us know and we'll make sure we meet your requirements. We are also able to offer a customisation service so if you don't see the finish you want, or the routing you want, just drop us a line and our team will be happy to discuss your requirements and options with you. We can also provide all of the hardware, parts and plastics you need to complete your custom relic guitar, either as separate items or in kit form, just ask.
Satisfaction Guarantee
Buying custom items online and unseen can be a daunting proposition, especially when it comes to such personal tastes as artificially aged and reliced guitars. For this reason we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee: if for any reason you're not totally happy with your items upon receipt, you just have to return them to us for a full refund. That's how confident we are of the quality, craftsmanship and authenticity of the guitars and parts we sell.
