I think if you relic-ed out quite a worn area where the elbow area is, it would put the rest of the relic-ing back into proportion.

Yes and no. The wear just doesn't look natural? It would never get wear marks like that naturally, chips on the bottom yes, but wear marks? nah. I'm sure its a well made tele but it looks so badly faked. No offence meant, but the whole point of relicing is to make it look natural, and pretty much 90% of that is wrong

Still its twangy! So thats all that matters

I do have a tele body thats being naturally relic'd down in my workshop. Nitro black. Its basically rattling around on my tool shelves lol. So everytime I go looking for something, it gets a new ding/chip

I reckon another year it will be almost a fifties custom shop model

Maybe I can buy that body from you in a year and throw this one away!

Yeah I'd go with that 50's Fender type yellow. Have a feeling it will look better with a black scratchplate, à la Danny Gatton.

Don't know where the majority of Tele's sit in terms of weight, but just chucked this on the scales as it felt on the heavier side.
4kg, around the same as my Les Paul

That’s heavy.
Mind, people pick up my tele and say it’s light (low 3s).
