Telecaster Relic Body - Vintage White, Nitro, Alder

VL Guitars — Telecaster Relic Body · Vintage White Nitro Finish · Alder · Tele Body · Body Only

This is a VL Guitars guitar body, crafted from alder, carefully chosen for its tonal balance, lightweight feel, and excellent acoustic response.

The body is cut to true vintage specifications, with correct contours, thicknesses, and routing to ensure authentic resonance and feel.

All of our bodies are precision-machined to tight tolerances, ensuring that all genuine Fender® parts fit perfectly, including necks, bridges, pickguards, and hardware—no modifications required. This makes our bodies ideal for high-end custom builds as well as vintage-correct restorations.

The finish is applied entirely in 100% nitrocellulose lacquer, sprayed in thin coats and then hand-aged (relic) to accurately recreate the look, feel, and character of a well-played vintage instrument.

The Vintage White finish features heavy, natural-looking checking across the whole surface, pronounced wear on the edges with bare wood showing through, and realistic buckle rash.

This body is an excellent foundation for high-end builds, vintage-correct restorations, or custom projects where authenticity in both tone and appearance is essential.

At VL Guitars, we specialize in vintage and relic guitars, combining traditional lutherie techniques with meticulous attention to detail.

🔹 Body + Ferrules Only – hardware, electronics, and pickguard are not included (hardware shown in the photos is not included)
