The next....Tele

[-CB-]

I've got a nice clear finish swamp ash body here, routed HB-neck/Tele-bridge.

Was thinking.... maple neck and finishing the front of the peghead in black. 

Any thoughts?  Its already got a dark tortie pickguard (traditional).

Gotta  see how Vics tele comes out with the phat cat and Fralin in it.  Might replicate that.

Neck should be ordered in late Jan early Feb... VM, 21 fret, stainless, straight 12inch radius.

Go wild with suggestions, I'm open to just about anything I guess....

If you paint the peghead, maybe a strat peghead, non-cbs would look cool.

Try the Warmoth/Earvana nut.  I was surprised by it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Do they do Strat pegheads on a Tele heel neck? 

Earvana... hmm... maybe

I believe that the Strat head on Tele heel is an option.  I know that they do it the other way around, so you'd think it was available.  Can't seem to find the page I used to look at.  If they do it, there is an upcharge for a custom thing, but that is to be expected.  You are going for 21 frets so I guess you can't just drop a regular strat neck in.

Can we expect more inductor madness on this tele?

+1. I'm liking the earvana nut on the 8ball tele.
