Hey all, here's my build log for my Roasted Swamp Ash Tele Deluxe!
Gonna call it 'Artisan' after the Fender range it was initially based on but I couldn't afford!
It's probably surpassed that now and the 'F' word is probably an insult to it!

-------------------------------------------------
Trying my hand at Soldering, first time I've ever soldered a guitar up start to finish
Pic 1: Body out of the box - Absolutely stunning!
Pic 2: Neck out of the box - Perfection!
Pic 3: Copper Shielding Tape throughout entire cavity - Don't know if this will be beneficial but I might as well give it a go!
WD: Seymour Duncan wiring diagram I followed for 2 Vol, 2 Tone, 1 Switch, Coil Split Push Pull on Tones.
Pic 4: Solid Start (Had to redraw the diagram because IronGear pickups use different colour wires for almost all of their wires!)
Pic 5: Getting there! Slowly getting better at soldering as it goes, and it shows!
Pic 6: Testing the soldering job out! (Worked first time with all functions)
Pic 7: Phew all that wiring fits back in the body cavities!
Thanks for reading, I'll update soon with more progress!
