Say hello to "Mr. T" - arrived today....

[jhumber]

Turned out even better than I could have hoped for.....

Body is chambered basswood with flame maple, and bang on 3lbs.
Neck is 3A flame maple with Pau Ferro board.

Should be up and running in a week or two.....can't wait!

Cheers
Jordan

looks nice....what do you call it mr T?  I love teles with humbuckers!!!

 

[jhumber]

Just seemed like a suitable name for a beefed up tele ;-)

 

[Tempest]

Sweet! Really nice flames on the body and the neck.  Was the body a custom order?

 

[jhumber]

Yes, both the body and neck were custom order, with both the flame maple top and pau ferro fingerboard coming from the Unique Choice section of the website.

That explains how awesome it looks then.

 

[NonsenseTele]

Looks damn good! Congrats!

 

[blimpo]

Love that neck...whoa!!

 

[riverbluff]

Super nice!  I like it alot.

 

[rockskate4x]

That's some really awesome looking flame in both pieces. Excellent build!

 

[blue313]

Beautiful flame on that neck!

 

[Unwound G]

Nice..........!!!!

John Suhr zebra buckers.........great choice.  Are they splitable ?  If so, it will be a good idea to hook them up to push/pull pots to get some single coil and in-between quack sounds.

I'm surprised noone beat me to it....

Nice tele BTW... :icon_thumright:

 

[rockskate4x]

I wish my projects looked like that.... meaning having all the parts already purchased and together before assembly...

Rock! Loving the two vertical stripes in the flame top. Nice choice, incredible texture under that dye.

And, wow, I am just not that organized.

Already on the case, this is the wiring I'll be using....
http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=1h_1s_1h_1v_1t_5w_as

That's a really clever wiring schematic, which in short, gives me the combiniation of HBs split with middle coil (rwrp) in positions 2 and 4.
The full wiring will be:

5: Neck HB
4: Neck HB split with middle single coil
3: Middle single coil
2: Bridge HB split with middle single coil
1. Bridge HB

And all without any push-pull pots on the volume or tone. Hope it works!!!

Man, you people are dry as baby powder...... :doh:

I was actually going to ask about a mohawk, then I saw your post. 

Nice tele, btw.

I put the pic of Mr. T up as a joke, he calls the tele "Mr.T".... Mr. T always says "I pity the fool" hence the joke. Nobody reacted to the joke, hence the word "dry" as in no sense of humor, not unlike "Nonsense" of humor... :icon_biggrin:
