It's the most important part of the body for tone. Let it nudge your ribs into the tone zone.

Have you tried GFS (Guitar Fetish)? I have a dim memory of them selling a bunch of Telecaster bodies (finished and all) for cheap. Might be worth emailing them since their inventory is not up on their website. In my experience Warmoth make good product but are intolerably slow and also can't be relied upon to get everything right (wrong radius on my Mustang neck, comp stripe in the wrong place on RodVonBon's body). They are stoners.

i guess i will look into warmoth. i'm not in a big hurry, it's been this long. plus i've got to off some more shit before i can justify getting something new.

SLOWN: buy mah epi bass pls.

I had never seen a contoured tele before this thread. I quite like them. This one is cool:

uh............ ok, check warmoth for bodies.

I think that they kind of constantly annoy my sensibilities. Trying to make sense of a contoured tele is like trying to make sense of a circular square.

yea, the tummy cut is alright (like a tele deluxe) but the fore arm contour just does not look right.

What is it with you and using homosexuality as an insult? We have people posting here of all sexual persuasions.

honestly hotridder back on the subject ive never seen a contured tele body.

A contoured Tele, what’s next on your list solid bodied ES335, and a baritone Mustang?

I think that pic in the original post looks great. Though pole pieces on a tele neck pickup always look rubbish.

Flip the headstock too and it might artificially induce motion sickness.

Uh, yeah. They look fucking awful, despite me loving teles.

ITT: FUCK A TELE WITH CONTOURS, SHIT IS NOT ACCURATE

It's nothing to do with accuracy. I just don't think I like them. There's no need for you to get upset about this. Good luck with your endeavours.
