La Cabronita style guitar bodies inspired by the big F's modern take on the classic Telecaster. Retaining the iconic Tele shape while introducing a stripped-back, performance-focused configuration, these bodies are designed for builders looking for a clean, versatile platform with a more contemporary edge.

Compatibility

Manufactured to vintage Telecaster dimensions, these bodies are fully compatible with genuine Fender necks (MIA, MIM, MIJ) as well as our own Telecaster-compatible necks. The neck pocket dimensions match Fender specifications, ensuring a secure fit and straightforward installation.

Alder Guitar Body

Constructed from alder, a tonewood widely used for its balanced and resonant tonal characteristics. Its closed-pore structure delivers clear highs, defined mids, and a controlled low end, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles and pickup configurations.

Cabronita Routing

These bodies are routed for dual Filter’Tron-style pickups, staying true to the original La Cabronita concept. This configuration offers a unique tonal profile compared to traditional Telecaster setups, while maintaining a clean and minimalist aesthetic.

Bridge Compatibility

Designed for use with a hardtail bridge featuring 52.5mm string spacing. Bridge mounting holes are not pre-drilled, allowing you to select and position your preferred bridge without limitation. Check the compatibility tab above for suitable bridges!

String-Through Construction

String-through body design improves sustain and tuning stability. Ferrule holes are drilled to vintage specification and are compatible with standard Telecaster-style ferrules.

Minimalist Layout

The La Cabronita design removes the traditional Telecaster control plate in favour of a simplified control layout, resulting in a cleaner appearance and more direct wiring options.

Finish Options

Available unfinished or in durable polyurethane finishes. Polyurethane provides a hard-wearing, high-gloss surface that resists scratches and maintains its appearance over time.

Built with the same attention to detail and compatibility standards as all Northwest Guitars products, these La Cabronita style bodies offer a reliable and flexible foundation for your next custom build.
