Product Description:
Sweet on the outside. Mean under the lights.
The Watermelon Burst Tele body takes a classic T-style platform and gives it a finish that is equal parts oddball charm and boutique attitude. Its figured top glows with a warm amber-brown center that fades into a dark green outer burst, while the black back keeps the whole look grounded, sleek, and just a little dangerous. The aged nitro lacquer adds tasteful wear, edge rub-through, and broken-in character, so it feels less like a showroom piece and more like a well-traveled custom build with stories already baked in. With rear routing and a versatile Tele-meets-hot-rod pickup layout, this body is a killer foundation for anyone who wants familiar shape, custom-shop flavor, and a finish that absolutely does not blend into the crowd.
