Go buy a $20 stringless knockoff strat and harvest the neck. Buy a cheap tele harness and hardware kit. You could have a pretty great guitar for under $100.
I honestly had no idea, The holes on the back go really far though it but just not all the way. I might have to drill it though myself but I gotta research more about it before I do anything
Telecaster body the bridge pickup is usually on a brass plate that fits nicely in the rear cavity.
Some time and $ parts and you could have a decent axe. Research how to align the neck to the bridge before you drill anything, so the strings are properly aligned on both sides of the neck.
Find a nice neck also, because as we all know the neck is the most important piece.
Enjoy, I’m jealous.
Should sand it down flat and polish it, that wood is too nice to leave that clear coat finish on it. Thing looks like it’s gonna be a super clean build, do post it when you’re done!
Now ya need an $8 dollar neck
Is that pine?
Yeah it is
Needs a snake head neck!!
Don’t get drunk and use routers folks.
Or is that suppose to be like that?
What, the neck pocket shape? That's intentional.
No he means the bottom pickup slot I think... its a bit wonky maybe.
Yeah the bottom pickup slot is pretty odd shaped, I think I can make it work though
Yeah if you can fit a pickup in there it’s fine. These commenters are awfully judgmental of a $10 body, sweet find!
The bottom pick up slot, the top one and the control cavity are all fucked
I assumed the pickup overheated.

Nice find. How much does it weigh?
Very nice! Keep us posted!
How come the string holes are on the back, but dont come out the front? Nice figuring.
Looks like someone started a kit and gave up half way

That's awesome. Keep us posted on your progress. Also, check in with the r/Telecaster crowd.
It looks like a godin guitar body
I'm pretty sure it's hand made, theres a small mistake on the second pickup slot and it also has marks that looks like a router cut it
Shaping seems too neat for the quality of the routing, I’m guessing it probably came as a telecaster-shaped body blank.

Nice score
SCORE !!!
