I have decided to refin a telecaster using used parts,I would like to pick up a used body to refinish.
I really don`t want to order a new one from anywhere because my understanding is that they all must vary in some small way from the original to be legal.I think for a little more I would rather pick up a real one.
The problem is that on ebay and other places I see a lot of bodies but I don`t know how to tell if they are original.
Could someone tell me how I can tell a reissue from the real thing.Or the real thing from a Japanese or Mexican one for that matter.
Or does anyone know if there is a place where they do comparisons where I could go to read up on it. Thanks

Actually you make a good point Gregp and I appreciate the response now you have made me curious about the edan bodies.I should have explained myself better though.
I already have a 1965 neck and both pickups.
I can`t afford to buy a 65 body in perfect shape but I thought maybe something newer that needs restoring.Call me nitpicky but I just don`t want to put all that original stuff on a fender copy body.
It isn`t about resale.This is as close as I will ever come to owning a 65 and I will keep it forever.Any one know how I can make sure I`m buying the real thing?
