Hi all,

For a long I've been reading this forum, but never posted anything. In august, i placed my very first order (..and will be my first built) at Warmoth.
yesterday, 18th of October the order was shipped and the expected delivery will be Monday 22th October !  (..shipment to The Netherlands)

My first built will be a telecaster (..as of 99% is i guess :) )  I will place some sexy pics in this thread ofcourse  :kewlpics:

Well, who am i ? Short version:
I'm Chris (22 years) and i live in the Netherlands.
I own 2 strats (  one Fender SRV signature and one squier "E"serie (fine japanese made squier from 1984) , a acoustic seagull and a budget washburn (bought in the early days of my "career "  ;-) ) I play over a '65 Fender Super Reverb (reissue).  (yeah, i loooooove blues :D ;-) ). 
Just to have some fun, i play in a band  ( www.llbb.nl )  with some friends. Its fun the jam with some other musicians and play a gig once in a while)



I hope i can give you the pleasure to see a nice sexy tele next week :D , stay tuned.

O, have nice weekend !

Chris.

Great looking Neck & body, Chris!! That is going to be REALLY TASTEY looking! And welcome to the forum...
 
Wow! That'll be a build to keep you happy for a long time. That neck looks great! And the finish on the body is perfect
 
Very timely post! I haven't decided on the neck options for my Mary Kaye Tele yet....I was considering block inlays, you may have decided for me....here's mine awaiting the neck.

If that was finish solid white you'd have a pretty great looking guitar! (for a tele)
 
Awesome!  I would consider a different pickguard, the warmoth mint green/black, or even cream/black.  Very nice tele build, really liking the fretboard choice and paint.  Way to go!!
 
That's just excellent in every way! Don't forget--It's YOUR guitar, and whatever anybody else says they would or wouldn't do doesn't mean a thing!! Beautiful guitar!
