I spied this rosewood tele body and neck on Craigs List. He's probably dumping it cheap if you make an offer.
But since you hate telecasters, I guess nobody wants it.

Isn't rosewood a species of mahogany? It might be pretty good sustain wise.
Interesting.

I'm not so sure that the body is really rosewood...

I almost bought Walter Becker's all-rosewood Tele back in the late 70s. It was ridiculously heavy, though. Didn't get an actual scale reading, but it felt significantly heavier than my '76 Les Paul Custom which was no feather weight.
