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!
I need to make a video on basic chord melody.

I wouldn't assume am unlevel board is reason the refret job turned out badly, and I definitely wouldn't assume a Plek machine is necessary to check a fingerboard for levelness and fix it. And even...
I've had a couple of guitars pleked, an LP and a vintage strat. Both came out great, though the LP later had to have the fingerboard loosened and reglued, a problem that apparently was there when it...
What is the serial number I can tell if it was the last one made. Based on the bone overlay for the saddle I can tell you this was one of the last 5 or so Barker guitars. I don't remember playing it...

Sounds and looks real good! I'm surprised at how good Eastman has gotten with the binding and purfling work. I own one of their small-body, flat top guitars, and that one has been a wonderful...

Most were already mentioned. I can add ES390 a hollowbody small size guitar, ES135 and ES225 all not specificly made for jazz. As far as I am concerned, L5CT is king. Never liked the ES135, still...
