Well, "Screamin' Deals" has been calling my name the last couple of months, so I have answered the siren song...

I should have saved the big pictures before I purchased - Warmoth pulls the threads the second you buy something from the showcase.
So now there's nothing to gaze at whilst awaiting delivery. Here's what i have on the way...

Rounding this out will be a Babicz original (aluminum plate) tele bridge, a set of Hipshot locking tuners, and most probably a Kinman pickup (still debating which model...)

This is an unfinished body with no contours, so I will be rasping and sanding it to add the forearm contour, tummy cut, and contoured heel options. Then a Tru-oil finish, or maybe Osmo Top-Oil (Anyone here ever tried it???)
 
That neck 😍

12-16” is interesting. Should result in a milder saddle radius than the 10-16”.

Traditional Tele hardware here (chrome) or are you going to match the nut with some black hardware? What kind of pickguard?
 
Yep, going with traditional Chrome finish for the hardware.
The pickguard is Warmoth's black/red/black three layer (fancy red pinstripe on the edge!). :D It's the custom size one that fits their 7/8th tele. Will cover up the existing tele neck pup rout- and give this thing a sort of traditional-vintage-tele-Esquire-esque flavor! (plus I'm pondering routing out more under the pickguard for weight reduction...)
