I built this guitar a few years ago when I was my Ed Bickert phase. The soldering and pickup installation was done at Midwood Guitar Studio in Charlotte. Guitar was also setup there.
The neck is a warmoth custom neck and cost about $600 alone. The body is a Fender Road Worn Telecaster Nitro and was purchased for $400. The neck pickup is a Lollar Imperial costing about $200. Hardware is upgraded as well, with Schaller M6 locking tuners which retail for $140. Altogether, this guitar is worth over $1,500. The only recommendation I would make is to switch out the bridge pickup to something more substantial, I didnt out anything too expensive in because I only used the neck pickup.

Looks like a great deal for someone! Two questions… is the Lollar a normal-wind or a low-wind? and… do you have the tip for pickup switch? Thanks and best of luck with the sale!
I’ll throw in a KA HPAC pickup which was left over from a Comins GCS-16 I own, if anyone is concerned the lollar is too hot (i don’t find it hot at all but I generally play with a very soft attack)
This is a great deal just for the parts, let alone what is probably a very cool jazz Telecaster. Particularly if any of you guys live close enough to the seller to avoid shipping costs. Opportunity knocks.....

You should post a another price that is all inclusive and also post pictures of the back. A Flamed neck needs to be shown!
