daveq Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Do people really pay this much for a body? Tele Flame Quote
westhemann Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 well!! i would feel better if it looked less like a computer drawing...nice design though Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Looks more like ash to me, but zebra wood can be wide grain like that too. Freaking wierd. And the Easy Rider Tele bod for $469 is a steal Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Grrr. Scratch that. After scrolling down, it is zebrawood. Not sure how I feel about the sunbust on zebra tho. Quote
Gobbo Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 some people might.. but im not one of them =D yet Quote
daveq Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Posted January 15, 2004 And the Easy Rider Tele bod for $469 is a steal Really or are you joking? Have you seen others for sale? If so, how much and who in the heck is buying them - I've got a few bodies lying around I'd like to sell them. Quote
Scott Rosenberger Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 That guy isn't making much money on that body relative to the time + Material cost that it takes to do it Quote
LGM Guitars Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Lets put it this way, that's pretty close to what the paint finish alone would cost to have custom done. Not including the price of the body itself, I think it's a damn good price if it's what you're looking for. When you consider that Urethane is typically about $30 a pint, and the clear is about $200 a gallon, (we're not talking the minwax single part furniture crap here) that's a lot of money in materials alone never mind labor Quote
syxxstring Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Look at his feedback people are buying them and happy. I agree with the others, having attempted that kind of work on rc bodies, its a steal. Quote
GuitarMaestro Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Is there any guitar uglier than the Tele? Quote
westhemann Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Is there any guitar uglier than the Tele? yes...the one in the rant section a few weeks back Quote
jbkim Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Yeah, that Dr. Seuss guitar was something else... but why is that tele comment even here? It's a good way to alienate 1000's of guitar lovers. Quote
Curtis P Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 I never really liked the teles, i like death metal guitars, Jackson RR5 (V) explorer..... etc...etc... Curtis Quote
chemical_ali Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 wow, those one-piece mahogany bodies are cheaper than the ones at http://www.warmoth.com Quote
