And my first Tele too.
Hard ash body, Alpine White finish
Maple neck with ebony fretboard, standard thin contour and the standard compound radius, 6130 fretwire, clear satin finish.
Bridge pickup is a Fender Vintage Noiseless, neck pickup is a Swineshead Dragonfly (reverse polarity, so the middle position is extra 'quacky').
Wired up so the two controls are seperate volumes for each pickup.
I had intended this to be just a backup light rhythm guitar - I already have a Gibson Custom Shop LP taking up my 'lead slot' - but since I finished this I've not touched any of my other guitars. The tone of this guitar is incredible and I'm attributing most of that to the Warmoth body and neck. I am finding the flatter radius at the higher frets odd and despite all logic I'm actually finding it harder to bend notes properly up there, but I suppose it's something to just get used to. This guitar sustains almost as well as most of my Les Pauls - I've not had an ash-bodied guitar before, and this certainly won't be my last if this one is anything to go by. Won't be my last Warmoth either :icon_thumright:
