I used to own a "the paul" with an ebony fretboard that I loved and sadly sold. I never enjoyed playing rosewood. My latest project has a Kingwood fretboard and it is my absolute favourite. I also own 2 Warmoth roasted maple necks which I love, just a little less....

Just a quick final update. I've been playing it a lot, the others are getting green with jealousy. :cry: It is the first Tele I have ever played and I feel the attraction. I am very happy with how it plays and sounds. The only future change I can see would be to switch the tone and volume...

My Warmoth Guitar Family. Each one has (is/was) become my favorite as completed, moving clockwise starting in the back. Fickle me! 🤣

Here are a couple pics of it assembled. I may replace the chrome scratch guard screws with black. I have wired it using a Mod Garage article from Premier Guitar. The color variations are a prime example of my photo editing skills. :oops: So far I am quite happy with the playability of it.

Is it just me or , in the top picture, it kind of looks like you've found a second use for the trem arm.... as a kickstand. :ROFLMAO:

Making some progress. Over the weekend spent some time polishing frets and today mounted the bridge, scratch guard and pickups.

Noticed that the option to chose neck heel shape on the Strat neck page (https://warmoth.com/guitar-necks/stratocaster) But that the total neck count did not match the counter under the selector. IMHO a great addition, but I only saw it on the strat neck page and not on others.. Thanks

Neck Shipped Friday. Ordered late January, a problem was found in QC and had to re-select unique choice fretboad, been anxiously waiting. Getting excited to finish this build and play. Telecaster® Replacement Guitar NeckConstruction Gibson® Scale Conversion Shaft Wood Roasted Maple Fretboard...

Here's mine. :cool: Weight relieved body, Sherwood green, hardtail. Gibson conversion, roast maple neck. no finish but burnished

After a few minutes with a dremel tool, it looks much better, well as best as a flat piece can fit into a curve. It's not 100% I have a little paint touch up to do.

I ordered an electrosocket jack, which unfortunately stands proud of the body, not what I am imagining.

I have seen a few posts about folks having trouble fishing pickup leads through the drilled holes between pickup and control routes. When I did the mock-up (above), I experienced the same issue trying to push the lead through and I do not have any abrasives that I could pull through the hole to...
