Spalted Maple Tele

[SlartiBartfast]

Well, after 8 weeks of waiting for my parts to be finished by Warmoth, then ANOTHER week of trying to track down my missing packages (long story with a fortunately happy ending), I finally have my new Tele. Below is a photo of the body and neck. I've since finished assembling all the parts but didn't bother taking any "work in progress" photos, but I'll be posting a new thread of the finished guitar in the next few days after getting it back from the fine folks at Portland Fretworks who are doing a setup for me.

Very nice!  Love spalted maple. I was wondering if W still offered spalt as I haven't seen it as an option in the configurator.

 

[Cagey]

Their offerings vary, depending on availability and when things come out of the dryers.

That's going to look nice.

Oooh, is that roasted Maple neck I see? I'm liking the grain on that!

After a similar look for my next build... Looks great with no inlays!

Looks more like Canary to me.

It is indeed a roasted maple neck! It's fantastic... Feels good to the touch, sounds great with the thicker neck profile, and it even smells good, too.
