This listings body is for pickup routing HSH and is our most versitile as you can run all 3 single coil pickups if you like as pickups are supported and suspended by the pickguard you can also run a Humbucking pickup in either Neck or Bridge making it very versitile all the while looking like a vintage body.
These are custom built first by CNC then further hand shaped to vintage spec body is 2-3mm thinner than the originals and is virtually un noticible with these deep sexy vintage contour body.

This is built to fit Fender US spec necks sizes on bodies and neck can slightly vary in size by up to a few MM between the body and fitting a neck often it is required of the guitar builder to “fit” the neck to a body and that is done by the assembler at time of building this is nothing new this is why "Mr Leo F " would sand neck or pocket use shims and so on to fine tune adjust and or fit , this prep work is to be expected and should your neck or body require you the builder to make the final fit this is ordinary and not a defect and is not returnable for such reasons.
This is a no nonsense listing, WHAT YOU SEE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GET ... the body seen IS THE BODY has been sold we will make you another one very similar BUT NON RELIC yet unique no 2 are exactly the same.
