Buren’s Custom Clear Pine Very Light Tele Body (ToneBomb, Rockies, Canada) in Lavender Finish

Here’s a no pickguard clear pine tele body with distinctly wavy grain structure underneath a purple-like lavender surface with an broad array of color hues. This vintage-style telecaster, with no exposed wire channel between neck pup and control plate (so you can go with or without pick guard), was custom ordered for staining/coloring by "Guitars by Buren" from Tonebomb Guitar Parts in Calgary, Canada, the gateway to the North-American Rockies.

This “transparent" lavender color is designed to display and enhance pine grain. After color application, this particular body was finished off with one solid protective coat of Danish Oil rendering a pretty flat, natural, almost bare-wood-like feel. Not shiny, not sticky! (If you want, you can add additional coats per your preference for more shine, but you certainly don’t have to!)

She weights in at a very light 3 lbs. and 12.5 oz. which equates to an assembled tele at about 6.5 lbs. – nice! Suitable for standard tele replacement parts - compare Allparts, Musikraft, MJT, USACG, Warmoth.

DISCLAIMER: Pine is a very light & resonant but also quite soft wood. Minor nicks, dings and scratches are almost guaranteed – even for new bodies – and are part of their rustic charm! If you feel differently, don’t buy pine!
