Looks pretty nice, is that one of your own?

My plans seem to be constantlt changing, no wonder people have to build more than one guitar  :o. Starting to become a bit of a tele-lp jr (special) hybrid. Korina flat top lp body with comfort contours, string thru recessed TOM, dual P90 (cream soapbars). Most probably typical lp control...

Cheers Mully, they look pretty darn good to me, I like the simple control setup as well, just my opinion but I always think there are too many controls on a lot of guitars!

Thanks for the replies, I think I need to do a bit more planning.

Thanks for the info and advice, I think P90 & single coil was mis-thought example, maybe singlecoil / humbucker would have been more appropriate. I referred to the thinline as a semi-acoustic as this is how it is referred to in Melvyn Hiscock's book on building electric guitars, but I take...

Thanks for the replies, Marko I saw your thinline while browsing the forum, really beautiful looking guitar, I am very envious. How does it sound?

Hi All I am after a bit of advice. I have decided to take the plunge into building my first warmoth guitar. I have always wanted a semi acoustic and have decided on a thinline telecaster, but being my first project I have lots of questions that need answers. I am thinking of a Korina body with...
