First build complete - tribute tele

[kendog]

So a few years ago I started this idea building a guitar as a tribute to my dad. Well today it is finally done!!
I want to say thank you to the many forum member that helped me along the way, I could have never do this without this site!

Here are the specs:
Neck

• Indian Rosewood
• Ebony fretboard
• 24 3/4 conversion
• SRV back contour
• Schaller mini locking tuners
• TUSQ XL nut

Body

• White Korina
• Quilt maple top

Pickups:

• Seymour Duncan P-rails

Switches:

• 3 way blade switch (up:neck | Middle:both | down:bridge)
• 3 way mini toggle (up90 | middle:Humbucker series | down: rail single coil)

Pots:

• 2 concentric pots (top:volume | bottom:tone)

Bridge:

• TOM stop tailpiece

Finish:

• Wood inlayed back
• transtint blue and black die
• Tru Oil

So far I have only had an hour or two to actually play with it, but it is awesome. The sound is very full, a bit thick but airy (?) and it sustains for days. The neck is a bit thinker than I expected but I'm liking it.

Again, thank you to all the forum members that answered my questions.

Very cool. Fine looking guitar. The very first Warmoth I built was a Rosewood Tele as a gift for my dad; I can dig this.

That's a lovely guitar, and a lovely motivation for making it.  Beautiful work.  Your dad clearly raised a thoughtful man.
