hi. newbie here. here's my first warmoth tele build. it's swamp ash body, flame maple / rosewood boat neck. tusq nut. bridge, ferrules, neck plate, knob is from callaham guitars. sperzel locking tuners. neck pickup is rio grande tallboy and the bridge pickup is seymour duncan hot rails. push/pull tone knob, down position makes bridge in parallel, up position a warm series humbucker. just tung oil finish and that's about it.

Hmm... clear swamp ash with a black pickguard?
Why didn't I think of that?  :icon_jokercolor:

I love it, man.
 
Oh, I love it! So cool and simple. 
One little suggestion - you could do the bridge series / parallel switching as part of a 5-way switch, using a super switch, if you wanted to simplify the controls.
 
I usually despise clay dots but they actually work on that guitar. As far as the guitar itself I love it, all business.
 
Any chance you could post a total cost?  If you post individual prices/vendor of the parts that would be even better.  I am planning on building one very similar, so it would be super helpful to see the breakdown to help me plan.

Thanks!
