Thanks for all of the really helpful responses. While the original message 2 years ago only garnered 2 responses, it seems from all of the recent responses that this idea is something that should be peddled as a campaign over at Kickstarter. In the last 3 years since I have purchased over...

One of these days I'll try and make it to Chicago Music Exchange. The hard part is going without the wife tagging along and ruining the day.

Yep, from the fly-over state of Illinois. There is a Guitar Center in Davenport,IA (about a 25 minute drive) and then probably the next closest place would be in Peoria,IL(1 hr drive). The were some closer medium sized music stores that folded during Covid. The last time I went into a music...

Then I'll probably end up buying that guitar at the store. Your suggestion is a good one and the most logical.

1/3 of the price of an unfinished neck? I am talking about the feel of the neck in your hands with the different profile, so a nut isn't needed. The descriptions and visual images of the different neck profiles are helpful, but until your holding the shape in your hands you don't really know if...

I was just thinking about this today, so I did a quick search and saw that idea/request was shot down quickly in this post. Apart from ordering a neck with a SRV, 59 Roundback or Wolfgang profile to see if i like it, I could see how this could be beneficial for making potential purchases. What...

Thanks. I forgot to add those to the photo. I have those items. The previous build I forgot those so I bought extras. It's always the little things.

The Lollar pickups (Royal T Neck , and Special Bridge) and 4-way Tele pre-wired controls arrived yesterday. Only thing I forgot to get were tuners for the roasted maple Warmoth Tele Neck that I will be using.

This is what it looked like in the showcase on the Warmoth site. I intend on using a pickup ring instead of a pickguard for the neck pickup.

Showcase.

Not a bad purchase for $230.

Purchased this Warmoth Redwood/Mahogany telecaster earlier this year. Raw I used Tung Oil, then several thin layers of Tru-Oil. What it looks like in my shop Outside: I am close to installing a Gotoh Vintage Telecaster Bridge that I purchased from Warmoth as well. Thinking of installing...

Congrats Ragamuffin! Definitely wouldn't have entered this month if I knew THAT guitar was going to be an entry. I've been following your thread on all of the build.

Great Job! I was thinking about getting those SD P-Rails for my new Velocity project, but I think I'll heed your advice and look for something different.

Yes.

Awesome build. I think I saw the pics you posted on the Gear Page (or somewhere else) the other day.

The Showcase Alder Velocity body that I ordered on 3/19 arrived.  I am going to use a Vega-Trem bridge.  I was going to put the bridge on my Fender Jeff Beck Strat, but it's playing so well I didn't want to mess it up so I bought this body to put it on.  Next up deciding on some pickups. I'll...

Thanks. With the shininess of the 2Tek bridge and frame I decided to go with chrome knobs and pickup covers. I felt like black covers and knobs looked out of place.

Finally had the time and energy to finish this guitar.

Can't believe it's been 5 months since I last did anything with this, but getting close to finishing this up. Between work and a few weeks in Italy I'm finding a little time to move this along.  Thanks to kucoyote's post on...
