For the bound Telecaster headstock fans out there, see attached...

Nice.

Very snazzy...I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before on a Tele style peghead.

So tell us about it...details. Did Warmoth do that? If not, then spill it!  :toothy11:

That looks good. The black hardware tops it off.

The binding work was done by the great people over at https://www.goatpeakstrings.com/

Lovely work, all the way around.  Also love the pau ferro top!

Thanks! The satin finish on top of the Pau Ferro is starting to wear under the forearm, revealing an even more pleasing appearance (IMHO). I wish it would wear out across the entire top!

So did you just get a Warmoth Tele neck unbound and had these guys do the binding later?  I'm assuming they fretted the neck as well?

Warmoth bound the Pau Ferro/roasted maple neck, and did an incredible job. The headstock binding was done by Goat Peak. The white "binding" in the F-Hole was done by me with a paint pen as a proof of concept. I am hoping to have it officially bound later now that the headstock was a success.

This guitar is (in many ways) my "LangueTele" ... a reference your avatar implies you will understand!
