Fail

Tele customs are neat looking! I would say any ol' not-too-hot neck humbucker should balance with it pretty well. Duncan 59' neck? Be rebellious and use a Dimarzio 36th An. P.A.F. in there? Lot's of nice boutique options out there like Wolfetone, Lollar, Zhangbucker just to name a few. I don't...

Glad you're enjoying your build! Looks great and I love me some p90s. Makes me want to build another!

All sold out, that was pretty quick! Seems like that might call for a second run with some tele and dinkycaster bods :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

I did not 😓 It would have been killer with a Warhead neck and a pair p90s, but unfortunately I opted to be "responsible" lol

Oh lordy, this one calls to me!

I believe they're an artifact of the CNC process, for the locating pin or something like that. You see them frequently on MiM Fender bodies

Really neat build! Right up my alley

Unless I'm missing something, the Vintage II Tele neck looks like a standard tele neck with a "vintage tint" gloss finish

I would definitely try to get a scrap/small piece of roasted flame maple to test on before getting dye/stain anywhere near that lovely neck. I don't have personal experience with it but I've heard that roasted maple doesn't take dye/stain the best

You could also use Birchwood Casey "Stock Sheen" which is their product designed to de-gloss Tru oil. Its a cream with some fine grit in it that you buff the finish with.

Jehovah!

Admittedly I'm a pearloid hater, but I really like that candy tangerine and orange pearl combo, bet they would look good with the flake finishes too!

I don't have a recommendation for specific products, but you will definitely want to use filler and likely multiple applications as wenge can have some pretty deep slots in the grain.
