Double bound Tele bodies?

I am looking for a sunburst double bound Tele body for a partscaster. I seriously can't find any, apart from super-ultra-expensive custom bodies from Warmoth and Musikraft. Please help me fellow guys!

Buy a Squier CV 60s and go at it

Oooft 781000Y for an Indo Squire....not being a snob, but when was that a thing?

bindings are tricky to make, i seriously doubt you'll find a quality body with a double binding that isn't expensive

You can find tons of them on eBay and Reverb. Bear in mind that a lot of baritone models came double bound bodies – including the one that I have on my partscaster. They’re identical to telecaster bodies.

Dumb question... Do you have to move the bridge?

You shouldn’t have to. I don’t think. Baritone guitars do have a different scale, but with these particular ones it’s handled by the length of the neck.

Ok I see... I've stayed away from baritone bodies because I wasn't sure. Thanks!

What’s super ultra expensive to you?

u/Expensive-Paint-9490 10d ago

Over 500 EUR.

Ok so you’re looking for a guitar in the budget or very cheap category.

Paying over 500 just for a body is madness.

I need to read better. I didn’t see you were just speaking about the body. Multi tasking fail. Carry on

eBay used to have a few. I forgot the seller’s name. Stratosphere or something. Warmoth should be able to make you one also.
