My first build parts arrived today. I set out wanting something that was going to be somewhat unique and I liked the idea of pairing a Gibson neck with a Telecaster body (though I know purists will scoff at this...). I also wanted humbucker routes and controls. By the time I finished speccing it out, I realized I had more or less come up with a Troublemaker Telecaster but that was ok with me because I like the look of those and they are a little expensive even used.
The basics
Body: mahogany body with no laminated top, spectra blue paint with satin finish, white binding and transparent for the sides and back (Warmoth did this for an extra fee but I love the way it looks)
Neck: hombre style neck, mahogany/Indian rosewood, white binding and satin finish
To do
Add Hipshot bridge. Add chrome Hipshot 6glo tuners. Have Fralin P-92 pickups on order. I have white knobs I'll be adding for volume/tone. Add a white Telecaster Cabronita-style pickguard.
