Redwood on Mahogany Build

[Great Ape]

UPS delivered on Friday, and Warmoth REALLY delivered!

                    Figured Redwood on chambered Mahogany
                    Ivoroid Binding
                    Rosewood on Flamed Maple Tele Neck
                    6150 Frets, 10-16" Radius, Vintage Tuners
                    Duncan Vintage Firebird/Mini Hmbkr in Neck
                    Duncan '59 in Bridge
  It's not a 'real' Tele 'cause it's got humbuckers, it's a Tele-style guitar just as I envisioned it,
AND, it's got an f-hole, so I can begin acquiring all the detritus that Cagey listed elsewhere on
the forum regarding what f-holes are for...
  Wiring and a set-up, and it'll be ready to do the dirty li'l boogie....

Gorgeous axe! I Loooove mini humbuckers too! Let us know how she sounds!

Awesome, yes it's a tele, even if it has hums...  Redwood is pretty damn sweet... :icon_thumright:

You got some nice flame on that Redwood :icon_thumright:
I agree, humbuckers are acceptable on a tele. 
That is a really sweet tele indeed...

Nothing wrong with Humbuckers on a Tele

No, not at all, and especially not on one as nice as that. F-hole aside, that is one sharp piece of woodworking.

How tight is the mini humbucker route? I've got a body incoming with mini humbucker routes, but pretty sure the pickups I got are gonna take some modifications to fit.

 

[Great Ape]

The route for the mini was as tight as it could be--actually needed just a hair's worth of tweaking
(No, not THAT kind) onthe inner corners. Also, the route wasn't deep enough to accommodate the length of the mounting screws that SD supplies, so I cut them shorter, and it all works fine.
