New Telecaster Neck!

[BCrete603]

Hi all,

I have received the first piece of my first build and I couldn't be more excited! This was in the showcase a while ago and could not resist. It is a walnut neck with a flame maple fingerboard. My pictures don't do it justice but I am very pleased.

I also recently put in my order for a custom telecaster body. It will have a flame maple top on a chambered walnut body. I know the website approximates 8 to 10 weeks for custom orders to ship. Have you guys found that is a fair estimate or have you gotten some bodies before or after that timeline? I cannot wait for that to arrive!  :toothy10:

Thanks as always,
B

Nice get! They don't make many necks in that combination.

Ship times are usually pretty close to quote. Sometimes they're a little early but the finish work takes the time it's gonna take and there's not much you can do about it. I think even if the shop was empty and your body was the only thing in the pipeline it would still take 6-7 weeks.

Very cool neck. I don't think I've seen such a neck before. Like Cagey said, good catch.

My first order took a couple of days shy of seven weeks to arrive. My second order on the other hand took exactly five weeks.
So, in a nutshell, it may differ.

Nice find!  I keep meaning to do a natural Walnut & Flame Maple Tele...

Nice neck!

So, in a nutshell, it may differ.

As for delivery times, It's as Logrinn said. My Jazzmaster neck was ordered 8/26/16, and shipped 9/25/16, just three day short of five weeks.

...the finish work takes the time it's gonna take and there's not much you can do about it.

It takes what it takes...... Welcome to the waiting club!
:headbang:

Thank you all for the compliments/feedback. I have enjoyed going through the forum and seeing all of your custom builds. A lot of beautiful guitars here.

Thanks,

This will be very interesting on a guitar. It certainly won't be your run-of-the-mill axe. It opens up many different possibilities.
