70's telecaster bass resteration

kurdtCobain

how much will it cost to replace every thing except the neck on a 70's telecaster with only ONLY fender parts?

foxyloxy

wait wait wait, is this a bass?

also do you want all vintage parts?

my guess would be a lot, especially if you plan on replacing the body too. But I've never looked into it, so don't quote me on that.

yes it has to be vintage or it wo'nt be as worth much

foxyloxy

if you are going for all vintage, expect to pay a fair amount. but you could do it with just normal fender parts for not to much, probs 200+, maybe but it depends on what pickups etc etc etc.

What kind of pickups + hardware do you want?

I thought you were poor. You seem to have a plethora of projects on the go though.

robertoriginal

whats wrong with the og parts and pickups?

kurdtCobain

they rusted in two and covered in green crap because it sat in my uncles garage since about 93 and it rusted for some reason even though it was in the case witch me and my dad can'nt figure out why.

I'm worried restoring it with orginal Fender parts, might cost more then it's worth.

Your gonna have to restore some of the parts you have. A neck is not a good place to start a project. You can buff that body... pickguard, hardware...

Post some pictures... alot. I'm sure you can find more useful info on restoring what you have on the internet somewhere.
