Just ordered my first build! Gold flake double bound tele w/rosewood neck and ebony fingerboard!

[AndrewR12]

Was that neck really just $220?
If so it looks like it was a bargain.

No, sorry! I believe that’s the cost of the pickups. I should have cropped that out of the photo!

 

[AndrewR12]

well, I got her all put together and strung up! Have a bit of a grounding issue to sort out, and the action isn’t perfect. I think most of my issues with the action will be solved, just adding a little bit of relief to the neck which is right now almost perfectly straight. I am immensely happy with how everything looks put together! And I know it is going to rock my socks off once I get everything dialed in.

Oh, forgot this one! Here’s the body, neck and pickguard together! Gives a pretty good idea of what it’ll look like in the end!View attachment 60555

How does someone order a double bound tele? I keep trying to do it on the guitar builder tool and I can never get it to work.

I just tried it and I believe it only works when you select ‘none’ for body contours.

Nice!! I've been wanting to do this with inferno flake (but on a different body). Helpful to see a "preview" of the look! Is it me or is Warmoth neck binding thicker than most?

What do you think of a pearloid pickguard or an aged pearloid pickguard? Just throwing out ideas since I like to have a variety of pickguards laying around. I like to treat pickguards and plastics (maybe even pickups half the time) as clothes for my guitars and I like to change them out on strats and teles. Sometimes it inspires a different feeling, its like changing to a different gauge of strings, sometimes that gets me inspired to play my guitar even more or play differently.

Double bound flake!

I have been trying to order one for myself but I can't get the custom builder UX on the warmoth website to pull up options for double bound bodies.

Wow, that is a terrific looking guitar!

Double bound bodies are only available on Telecasters without any contours.

If you're looking for something off menu, like a strat body with double binding, you have to pick up the phone, call the Mothership, and be brave enough to speak to a human (The are friendly humans). Of course there would be no contours, but it would seem do-able as to the binding. Let us know what they say. I heard that an email works too, but it's nice to interact with humans.

Is this on the UX custom guitar builder?

The choice can be found on the Telecaster builder if you have no contours selected.

This is also described on the binding page which I linked to yesterday in one of the other threads where you were asking.
