Thanks for the link! They also have a nice Mystic Red Telecaster body. I bought a black '00 American Standard recently that's in pretty beaten-up shape (it was cheap though, so worth it) and that would be a nice option!

Many Thanks Paulo, I have been looking and I just purchased a Lefty Fender Strat Body in Mystic Red. I love that color and I was able to purchase a beat up Strat for $350 that I will switch the body and and make it like new.

I did the purchase directly from them rather than ebay, they have a nice search engine. This is what you can use to look at all left handed bass bodies.

Thanks for the link Bob, but turns out it will be cheaper buying it through Ebay because a Pbass body cost $175 w/ free shipping...
Buying direct from the site will be $179 plus $19 shipping, that's what they where charging me when I added the body to the cart...!
Actually it shows the shipping cost as $19 but grand total $179...
Not sure if the shipping will be charged afterwards.
But it still nice to see what they have from their website!

Shipping to the Netherlands is 73 USD for just the Telecaster body on their website, and 71 USD on eBay. But on eBay they somehow don't have combined shipping for multiple items! I added an Electrosocket jack and a black Tele pickguard, and each item added 46 USD shipping to my cart in their eBay store (a whopping 163 USD shipping costs!), while on their website the combined total shipping costs would be 88 USD! Still an awful lot, but somehow their eBay store isn't working correctly I guess :|

Paulo, Many Thanks, now it all makes sense, Fender is not offering these colors and models in 2017 so they must have sold the excess stock to The Stratosphere. I purchased a new Fender Strat Body and it was shipped in an excellent Fender Replacement Box that was very thick. I had a beater USA Stat that I purchased for $350 a few years ago, the new body really helped change this from a Beater Strat to a very cool looking guitar. I then added a new pickguard and knobs ect as it really made it look new.

I think I may purchase a Fender Jazz Body for a future project.

Nice Bob!
I really dig the colors and it's nice to have one of each for future use cause you'll never know when you're gonna see these for sale again!

They're only 20 minutes from me. Wonder if they have a retail outlet.

I once bought a case from them and asked if I could pick it up but they did not allowed me to go.

Ordered!
I have a Warmoth maple/maple fretless neck that is going to go on this.
The Regenerate Guitar Works Jazz pups (proto Honey Badger?) I got a few years ago are going into this.

I'm thinking a vintage pearloid pickguard will go quite nicely!

Will do.
It will probably be a couple of months before it's finished as I have to Tru-oil the neck and then do the assembly. I'm missing at this point is the control section, knobs and the pickguard.

However, I noticed that it has holes for through-body stringing so the bridges I have probably won't do. Of course I could just put on the BadAss and just string through the bridge. Hmm decisions.
