Very nice. Elegant. I'll love seeing this come together.

Slick!

 

[dNA]

that's the most metal tele I've ever seen, and it's not even finished yet.

Dude that's awesome! I'm interested to see how you like that maple/ebony neck, I'm building a baritone VIP, and thats the same neck configuration I want to go with.

 

[JaySwear]

One of my favorites already and it's only a neck and a body right now!

 

[Kentish]

thanks guys, i'll be sure to update as soon as I can.

[Kentish]

body's done, give it a check out

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

Pure class, plain & simple!

 

[reluctant-builder]

Nice!

At first, I was wondering "Where?" ... but I scrolled up. I'd rather just tack the new photo in a new post, but that's me.

 

[dNA]

looks like it's ready to beat someone up!

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Classy geetar!  :icon_thumright:

 

[ihavenothingprofoundtosay]

looks like it's ready to beat someone up!

Yeah, I'm intimidated just looking at it!  :headbang:

I'm curious about the bridge, though - that looks like the Gotoh hardtail, but the rout on first body pic looks like hardtail strat.  Did you modify that at all?  Or is that just the "narrow spaced" one?  Do the string thru holes line up right?

 

[Kentish]

everything lined up fine, definitely was not the gotoh, I'm chucking this in the finished tele projects now, go check it out.
