Just got back from picking up the parcel from the post office and yes indeed the new Telecaster body has arrived, I've just unboxed it and it looks really nice, the finish on it is nice and smooth all over, I'm quite impressed at the general quality of the body itself, all the routing looks like it was done very accurately, the holes for the string ferrules have been drilled through the body in a straight line, the only downside is that the all maple Andoer neck is a bit too wide by about 2mm to fit in the neck pocket, the neck heel is also about 2mm too thick, so I've got two options, get the neck machined down to fit or buy another neck on eBay.
I can just make-out the grain pattern in the wood used to make the body and looks nice, incidentally the wood is Alder.
Overall, I'm very happy with the body, the Butterscotch Blonde finish seems to go really well with a maple neck.
Now for some pics:
And here's a rough mockup of what the body would look like with the Andoer neck attached to it:
