Building a telecaster from Guitarfetish.com parts. Episode 1 - The neck is good, this body is junk!

This is my second try at this video due to some technical issues on my part.

I do not like doing negative videos, but I also don't like buying inferior merchandise, and it's doubly troubling from a company that has always sold me good stuff in the past. I am building a telecaster-style guitar made almost entirely from parts purchased from Guitarfetish.com. The neck I bought from them is great, and presumably the pickups are as well. I have always loved the tone I get from GFS pickups. However, the body has a lot of issues, and someone at Guitarfetish should have notice before they shipped it to a customer.

Here's the store page for the body I purchased. Notice how clean the routing is, and then compare that to the body in the video.

Previous bodies that I've purchased from them were just that good, but this one is not. I thought about just buying a new body, but instead I'm going to use this as an opportunity to learn and practice. If I do end up buying a new body it won't be from Guitarfetish. I'll still buy their pickups; GFS pickups are awesome. I hope that you'll join me for the rest of the series!
