Luke's Tele!

[m4rk0]

Not even sure if he named her yet.. until then it will be 'luke's tele'

Solid Mahogany Body
a Pau Ferro/Maple/Rosewood/Maple/Pau Ferro top
Boobinga Neck, Ebony FB

The hardware:
Planet Waves Auto Trim tuners
graphtech nut
Wilkinson Bridgeplate
Rio Grande Texas Neck
Dimarzio Area Hot T in the Bridge
Once assembled we decided it doesn't really need string trees (unlike Luke's strat) we may still slap em on later.

and it sounds amazing!
Lots of Twang in the bridge, while the neck is really warm and growly (is that a word?)
there will probably be another photo session, after all the fingerprints have been taken off

I like the upsidedown humbucker. Very, very nice work luke. I'm a sucker for stained walnut and for maple stripes.

I like the upsidedown humbucker.

it was not an intentional peter green/gary more reference..
we just put it in the way the wire came out..  :tard:
it sounds great, but Luke may want to flip it around.

VERY nice! but the nut looks like it's as long as a floyd rose locking nut  ???

Oh, love it! Love it!
Give more info on that dimarzio hot T - I may get one of those for my upcoming build.

Just amazing!

Looking at it again - you don't want to try a metal or black hb ring? That cream ring bugs me because it's the only cream thing on that beautiful body.

Well nothing is set in stone yet.. I ordered a bubinga control knob.. so the black there will be gone. the creme goes really well with the maple lines, but that doesn't come out well in the pictures.

 

[DocNrock]

That is friggen gorgeous, man!

Just took it around the office.. everyone seems to like it.. we'll get some more pics up tonight.  ccasion14:

Cool.  Is it going to stay sans string tees?  I tried lowering the nut on mine, but ended up taking it to Gary at The Guitar Shop in Richardson.  It didn't need the string tees, and he wasn't a fan of them either.  Anywho, did ya'll have to lower the nut?

 

[Soylent]

Nope, the good people of warmoth sent it over quite perfect!  :toothy10:

 

[DangerousR6]

Just out of curiosity, what's the cord sticking out of the cushion for? :icon_scratch:
