N1/3GD

Post by bclaire » Sat Sep 30, 2017 5:06 pm

Just bought a paisley Tele body from Guitar Fetish... haven't opened it yet but my plan is to swap it out with the body on one of my Joe Strummer Tele's (because the relic'ing is identical on them and that would look stupid.) However, the paisley is supposedly only on the front and not on the back like the originals... might do a yellow lacquer overspray lightly to simulate aging... I'll get back to you on that. I'd post pix but I have to go to Johnny A.'s daughter's wedding shortly. What to wear, what to wear....

Nice. Small tip with those guitar fetish bodies I've learned. Before screwing anything to it, get a nice straight edge and check to see the body isn't warped. Should be done with any after market body anyways, but GF doesn't have the best QC. Sometimes the wood wasn't dried enough before manufacture and it ends up bowing after.
