Allparts Select
Allparts “Select” represents the very best Allparts has to offer in quality, features, and exclusivity.
Model Overview
Made in the USA, this Allparts Select Featherweight Telecaster® Deluxe-inspired replacement body features a roasted paulownia core sandwiched between roasted swamp ash top and back caps for exceptional resonance, stability, and remarkably low weight. Designed for modern custom builds, it features dual humbucker pickup routes and a rear-routed control cavity for a clean, uncluttered appearance with complete control layout flexibility. The body also includes a contoured heel, belly carve, pre-drilled string-through-body ferrule holes with recessed ferrule lips, and mounting holes for a vintage-spec 4-screw half Telecaster® bridge, making it an outstanding foundation for a lightweight, high-performance instrument.

Important Notes
- Wood grain varies from body to body. Your body may differ slightly from what is pictured.
- Unfinished bodies may have minor dings or scratches from production that can be removed during finish sanding. This is normal and not a defect.
- To protect against moisture, we recommend sealing unfinished bodies prior to installation.
- Due to the reduced moisture content of roasted woods, the risk of cracking is greater. When drilling screw holes, measure carefully and use the correct drill bit. Do not force screws into undersized holes.
