Just a plain 'ol tele

[pirate]

I'm still collecting parts, and hoping the coming hurricane doesn't screw up shipments too bad, then Cagey can work his magic on the frets on the incoming roasted maple neck, and put her all together!

 

[pirate]

Making a little progress as the parts start coming in  :icon_biggrin:

 

[rgand]

That's going to look good. Clean and crisp.

 

[bagman67]

That's lookin' mighty fine.

Neck off to Cagey for his fret magic and burnishing  :glasses10:

 

[rgand]

That neck is going to gleam when you get it back.

 

[Rick]

It’ll look good :headbang1:

 

[pirate]

Been a while, but should be getting it back from Cagey Thursday with shiny new frets  :toothy10:

 

[Rick]

With apologies to Pablo Neruda you’re gonna want to do to that neck what spring does to chery trees.

Friday delivery now....
I’ll post pictures when I get it!

Finally getting around to posting a pic of the tele finished, came in at 6.45 lbs.

Nice! I'm really sold on Warmoth's satin finishes. I like black guitars, but don't like how smudges, fingerprints, dust, etc. all show up as if they're incandescent. Doesn't happen with their satins.

Nice - I think I'm going to give serious thought to gloss white (or black) for satin. Simply because it's a heck of a lot easier to make look nice for DIY.

 

[rgand]

Looks great! I'm also a fan of the Warmoth satin black finish. I have a gloss black Strat and it's hard to keep clean and shiny.

Dang, now I wanna build a satin black guitar, and I haven't even finished building my last two.
