Stealth Tele Build

[Crash102]

The neck I ordered last month came today so i was able to see what the body and neck would look like together.  I'm currently waiting for the pickups I order from Bare Knuckle to get through customs. Plus I still need to order a bridge and tuners.  All in all I'm happy to see it come together.

The neck is a blood-wood with Ebony fret board with a standard C shape and stainless steel tuners. The body is matte black and made of Korina.  I ordered a custom reverse tele control plate with kill switch from 920D and think it looks great.  Will update this build post when I am able to put it all together for real.

Here's an update on my Tele. Have the body together and its a relief to finally have it all coming together after months of planning.  Should have it finished soon.

Looks good. Can't say I'd have thought of all black like that. I like it.

Did you get the radar-absorbing finish on it?

 

[Crash102]

Radar absorbing wasn't available to so I went with the matte black.

Finished putting it together this morning. Everything worked the first time which was a relief.

Finished Specs
Bloodwood/ebony neck, modern c profile with a Graphtech TUSC XL nut, and Graphtech Ratio Locking tuners

Body is Korina with contours.

I used a Babicz bridge, a Bareknuckle Cobra T in the bridge and a Bareknuckle Pile driver in the neck. I ordered a 920D custom wiring harness featuring the reverse plate, 4 way switch, and a kill switch.

I couldn't be happier. The hard part is going to be not constantly being in the process of building more.

Looks really good. Congrats on a fine build.
