I have had a  prototype pickguard made and mocked it up on a tele standard body i have here. If the middle route had of been a HB this would have fit straight up.

Yeh a pickguard is being routed for Z coils, i will then put it up against one of the teles bodies i have here and make sure i get an exact fit, trouble is all my tel bodies are routed for everything barring Z coils, that why i need the pool route. cheers Tony

Thats sounds like a great idea, thanks for the heads up, i would love a copy of the template if its not too much trouble. thanks mate cheers Tony Hi mate yeh there is a universal route available in the hybrid tele, i havent checked the rest, i was hoping someone could iinform me how big the...

Hi all i haven't been on here in over 4 years, took myself away from playing guitars and gigging,  as the novelty had worn off after 40yrs and had myself doing other things. I recently finished a Baritone i had started back then and its a fine player, i have the urge again to put some...

Thanks mate, yeah the hard work paid off, not cutting corners i think is the trick. Goig to cut this 4way loose and wire in a 3 way on the weekend and go from there and will do a You Tube, and i might start recording a track with it and my Strat build. Next up is a build using the Powertron...

Thanks Chris, yeah it came up a treat with the tru oil, was worth the labour thats for sure. I am trying some different finishes on the 6 projects i have under way  :icon_scratch: I will be doing some youtubes with it soon. The 4 way switch has cactus itself already, seems to be inherint...

Why is this thread inspiring me to do something very bad to a guitar body  :icon_scratch: I dont like relic guitars but these looks like too much fun to be legal.

Mines a 1 off you can have it at the bragain price of $500US but remember no returns  :laughing7:

So far today i have put the neck on, any tighter it would be water tight. Drilled out the bottom E Sperzel locker with a 5/64 bit so it will take a .062 Baritone string. I used a 1/16 drill bit first to take the hole out a bit at a time. Filed the nut so it fits into the neck and will now...

Thanks for the advice guys but i dont feel the need to spend up on a plate jointer for this body was the reason i was going to try and dowel it. Maybe my neighbour with the shed full of tools has one.

Chris i was thinking of drilling each half for dowels then slotting the 2 bits back together, seeing as they are a pretty rough join. I gotta get this finish off first    :dontknow:
