Actually I just swapped the Callaham bridge and saddles for a Glendale Blackguard bridge and steel saddles and the difference in tone is amazing. Much more classic Telecaster twang now. I love it!! Thanks for the compliments on the pics. I'm a professional photographer so I guess i've had...

Hi Man, Sorry - haven't logged in here for a while. I can't remember exactly how much it was - but I think somewhere around $1300.00 so not cheap, but WAY cheaper than the Fender custom shop version. And nicer too I think. Cheers! BBB.

Just finished a couple of final tweaks... I was feeling like it was a little too bright sounding, a little ice-picky and harsh in the bridge pickup so I swapped out the 0.22 cap I had originally used for a 0.47 one. It's now warm and full and delicious in the neck, as expected, and ballsy and...

Just picked it up from Main Drag Music here in Brooklyn NY after a final set up, new bone nut and a fret dressing (although it didn't need much - just the fret ends smoothed off a bit). This thing is really outstanding!!!! Warmoth does really great work!!

I have to say, the more I play this thing the more I am am totally in love with it. It really is absolutely stunning - both to look at and to play. I own five other Telecasters, a beautiful old Strat and a '72 335 and I've barely touched any of them since I completed this build. It really is...

Here's a short clip of just the neck pickup through a 77 Deluxe Reverb (sorry about the buzz... amp needs a little attention). A little blues noodling - nothing fancy... http://www.soundclick.com/britishbluesboy

Nice of you to say that - but I sure ain't no pro!

Beautiful guitar. Well done!

Nice job man. Very tasteful, stylish and quite simply a beautiful P bass.

It's actually not heavy at all. Just under 8 pounds (the body is chambered).

I normaly don't like modern, Super-Strat type guitars, but this one is something else! It's absolutely stunning and I bet it plays and sounds awesome. Well done on a totally new take on an old classic that is simply beautiful.

Howdy Jack!! I recognize that beauty.... All the best to you mate! BBB.

OK:

Point taken CB - about the bridge, although I find that it gives me a tone that I love. I have that bridge on a couple of other Tele's and although probably not for the strict Telecaster purist - it's a winner as far as I am concerned. It gives a fuller tone with more sustain (IMHO) than lighter...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys!! Of all of my 12 guitars - this is by far the best player. I just love the unfinished neck. It sounds amazing too! Am sooooooo happy with it. Soloshchenko: I'm originally from London, but I've lived in New York for the last 7 years or so... Thanks again...
