Custom T style metalflake Sparkle guitar body Buck-O
FAUX CHECKERBOARD BINDING

$469.00 USD
Hardware "Not Included"

Here is a New custom painted "T" Style body with brilliant super sparkle metalflake. Buck-O himself couldn't have been more pleased ! This is a gold color with special Faux (simulated) Black Bindings ! This is that checkered white binding look that came on a few custom made Buck O guitars. These are one of a kind! The white blocks has razer sharp edges and you will not be dissapointed.

It is very time consuming to make and paint a body like this. I have easily spent more than 20 hours making the body and painting it. Once I finished making the body I apply a sealer coat which is sanded once dry. Then I start painting a silver base followed with Silver metalflake over the entire body. Several coats are applied then a thick clear coat over the top because alot will be sanded off to get it perfectly flat. Ibce sanded I spray several coats of candy gold followed by a thin clear coat. silver. After sanding the clear coat , the simulated black binding is masked off and then painted followed by a clear coat on the black only. Then the hard part. The blocks are added one at a time. It takes alot of time making those little blocks ! When all that is done it is given the final Polyester clear coat. Several coats are applied. Once it has cured it is completely sanded flat starting with a 600 grit wet sandpaper and and then progressively sanded with finer grits until I finally reach the stage of a 2500 grit wet sanding. After this it goes through several stages of polishing until it looks a mile deep and shines like polished glass. Pictures cannot do this paint job justice. My feedback on ebay tells it all. Please excuse the light reflections in the paint, the metalflake paint is very very reflective. This body is the beginning of someones dream guitar ! I only plan on making a few of these so might as well let this one be yours !

I made this body out of Alder and patterned it from a vintage '69. The neck pocket is a standard 2-3/16" wide by 5/8" deep and has been pre-fit with a '69 tele neck, so Tele replacement type necks and standard necks that are 2-3/16"at the heel should work fine. All routes, neck, bridge and wiring holes are drilled. Buyer must drill holes for control plate (and pickguard if you decide to use one). String ferrule holes are 5/16". Weight is 4-3/4 lbs. The Hardware in the photos are for visual purposes only and "NOT INCLUDED" in the purchase. This body is MADE IN THE USA by ME and painted in the USA by Me. (Sorry I keep repeating myself but people continue to ask me where I get the bodies....I MAKE THEM !!!! )

I am Tony DeLacugo, the guitar builder himself. I am a professional guitar builder and I make and paint all the bodies. I have sold over 100 metalflake paint jobs and custom painted metalflake bodies on ebay in the last few years and every buyer has been very impressed with the product. Only top custom painters are capable of a paint job like this, so expect to pay big bucks where ever you go. A complete "Custom Shop" guitar with a finish like this can bring $3000.00 or more. You could save THOUSANDS by starting with this body and then adding your neck and hardware. This is serial #140

I am selling this body here on my website so I can lower the price. Auction fees and paypal fees can amount to around $30.00 to 40.00 on a body like this. So I am lowering the price. However there will be NO PAYPAL ACCEPTED. I prefer USPS Postal Money order or bank money wire transfers. Personal checks or other bank type money orders are accepted but I will wait 12 working days to clear before shipping.
