New Warmoth Telecasters

[mayfly]

That's pretty cool.  I'd love to have my own milling machine.

 

[Mor Paul]

The control plate came out great!

Thanks Max.

As of now I have no picup-select switch, just blend (mix) pots.
Don`t think that is the best solution.
Still experimenting, and need some time to decide where to go from here.
Probably I have to buy another pile of wood from Stew Mac.

The  plastic "Warmoth" stiker is leftover from the neck.
that will be replaced by a gold-sticker on the final.

- then, a pic from the routing process.

Here is the result.
Thinline, rosewood top on wenge.
All rosewood W-pro neck, no finish.

Great work!

Wow Ivar, that turned out beautiful, that top is just off the hook....I really like the placement of the controls too, looks way better than the standard tele layout...

 

[SonicWizard]

Ivar, where do you get your gold switch knobs?

 

[The Norwegian Guy]

Nydelige gitarer! Likte virkelig pau ferro tele'n! :icon_thumright:

Hi!
It has been a long time since my last wisit.
First, the switch knob is a WD part.
I have been working on things since  I was here last.
First is a rosewood thinline with double maple strips, rosewood neck and Lindy Fralin blues set.

Edit: New pics.

-then, a 12-string walnut thinline with hocky-stick neck.
Brigeplate is home-made to fit the saddles. (will change to standard telebrigge, but with my self-made saddles)
Pickups are Kent Armstrong.

Edit: Smaller picture.

-then this beautiful Warmoth-finished carved top tele.
Top is maple on ash.
Neck is Pau Ferro.
Pickups are Lindy Fralin blues set.

Edit: Smaller picture.

- then in project, a new 12 string thinline.
The other 12-string is my favorit, but the neck is a little to narrow (1" 11/16) for my fingers.
Body is walnut, neck is maple, pickups will be Lindy Fralins.
Brigeplate as you see it, but will be fitted with my self-made saddles,
That`s because strings are as on Rickenbackes, with octavestring below.
Nowhere to buy saddles for that.

Edit: Smaller picture-

[Nando Vallart]

Very cool! But I'd think the two thinlines would look better with the traditional pickguard...

 

[Soylent]

Beautiful stuff mate, I love those 12's.  :icon_thumright:

And with exception noted, for the bowl of the Ovation in the first shot of this thread...

Isn't it good Norwegian wood  :icon_smile:

 

[Paul-less]

Damnit, I was just going to get a blackguard tele, now I need a blackguard AND a rosewood tele.

Moar?
