Hi everyone,
Please don't pounce on me if this has been asked before.
I'm a relative newbie here.
I've spent a few hours searching, but haven't found too much info about this.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a chambered Tele body, all swamp ash, all the body contours, double humbucker rout, but I'll be using split single coil pickups by MJS.
Basically, my idea of the perfect "Jazz Tele".
I want a raw neck. 24 3/4 conversion. I currently have a maple/rosewood that i left unfinished. No issues in 1 1/2yrs. Frankly, I don't anticipate any...
However, I don't want to take any chances with this build.
I'm thinking Canary based on all the praise here, but most folks here seem to like it with ebony for the fingerboard, as it is the same tone as maple/ rosewood.
My thinking is that the rosewood FB will warm up the sound a little. Remember, it's a Jazz sound I'm looking for.
I'd love to hear the thoughts of the many experienced builders here.
Cheers, Ron
