Also, I'm going to refinish it...or sticker it. Haven't decided yet.
I have $48 in it as of now.


You could cover the body with reflective things, like Syd Barrett's Telecaster. :idea:

I've had that lil darling since I was 14, and I just put the neck on it a couple of days ago!

Tight. That's all it takes is 30" scale neck? & strings of course.

No pic but I have a cheap Tele converted to Esquire. I wouldn't recommend Affinity line. Flexible neck.

You got it! Look into DC Kunkle, he has necks on eBay pretty frequently!

What's a good source for cheap beater guitar bodies?

Preferably something offset or a tele style. I have all the other parts (2x P90s, a neck, various pots and caps, a couple bridges)

The TRO 62 is a super rad neck. It is more of a modern thin C profile. It's not as burly as the TRO or TRO Fat.

Go on eBay and get a used Squier body!
