Just finished another one.
I bought the zebrawood body on Ebay. You can see from the first picture, I did a lot to it to get it to the final product. I was planning on building more of a "traditional" tele, but then changed my mind as I was finishing it with Tru oil. I routed a humbucker for the neck, made a belly cutout, and did a pseudo-carved top. I couldn't go too far in with the carved top as it is a top route with a control plate. But still, I like it. It looks different.
Specs:
2 piece zebrawood body
Gogoh bridge with brass compensated saddles
Seymour Duncan Lil 59 bridge pup
Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pup
4 way switch
push/pull volume that splits both pup to single coil.
push/pull tone that puts the lil 59 in parallel
Warmoth neck 25.5" scale, 10-16" radius
Goncalo alves neck
Pau Ferro fingerboard
59 Roundback profile
GD6100 frets
Cream dots
I love the pickups for this. The Lil 59 has a lot of midrange. The Jazz splits to a single coil better than just about any other humbucker I have heard. The Jazz sounds like a brighter version of a PAF. This guitar sounds great through my CM Plexitone clone
From ebay after sanding.
After Tru oil. Shiny!!
Close ups to show the carve top better
Love the grain pattern on the sides
Another one where I still need to come up with an idea for one of Doug's neckplates.
