Tiger-Eye Tele

[Great Ape]

This is such a great finish; I'm not really into naming guitars,
but I just may HAVE TO call this one "Tigger"(yes, I'm old enough to have read "Winnie the Pooh" when I was a kid).

Now that one is right up my alley, perfect combo all round  :icon_thumright:
That neck is a beauty, yummie yummie yummie.

Your not alone there  :toothy12:

 

[Great Ape]

I need HELP!!! Somebody stop me before I build more....Oh,
what the hell; Stay tuned!!

 

[Cagey]

That's beautiful! Great choices all around.

You're on the horse now dude, and Warmoth is your needle.

 

[Great Ape]

HAH!!! And I believe I'm tied-off, too :help:

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Amazing combination  :icon_thumright:

Welcome to Warmoths-aholics Anonymous.  This is a group that doesn't judge, too much, and we won't actually try to get you cleaned up from this habit.  We might encourage it.  Until you snipe a piece that one of us wanted before we could convince our financial depts that we really could not go on with out it.

Thanks guys-you're an entertaining bunch, awright! Bagman, the bridge is just a narrow-spaced(Hmbkr spaced)Fender hardtail. I've decided that I
must continue my Warmoth jones, if only because I'm enjoying Updown's responses so much!
That said, does 'jungle-burst' quilt increase the ol' heart rate any? Keep an eye out, then....

That is amazingly awesome, tigers eye makes some damn fine looking guitar top... only think I can say I'd change is a matching lam for the headstock.. :dontknow:

 

[Perry Combover]

You are a Tele building fool!!

I have to say, this one is hands down the best one so far. :rock-on:

 

[Updown]

You are a Tele building fool!!

Yeah ......  :guitarplayer2:

:dontknow:  I'm expecting to see him do a double neck Tele  :blob7:

 

[Great Ape]

Oh, thanks--just what I needed; encouragement from the peanut gallery!! Although, y'know, a double-neck, with one neck set up for slide might be kinda interesting, hmmm?

 

[Pelagaard]

Oh, thanks--just what I needed; encouragement from the peanut gallery!! Although, y'know, a double-neck, with one neck set up for slide might be kinda interesting, hmmm?

baritone + slide...

 

[Perry Combover]

How about some more pics?  I'd love to see an angled shot showing the top, binding and black sides.  :blob7:

 

[Great Ape]

Should be finished sometime in the next 2 weeks, although
I'm moving into a new house this month, and am totally buried in crap....10 years of it in the
old place :tard:. But, I'll get to this as soon as I can.  G

[Great Ape]

That actually looks really nicely done--looks kinda like a Hamiltone--the double-bound Strat-style that Stevie Ray used occasionally. If I were to build one,
it would be a double six; I can't say I've got any interest in an electric 12....WHY AM I THINKING
ABOUT THIS AT ALL??!!

....WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS AT ALL??!!

Hehe! Unusual designs can be inspiring. The idea may not have occurred to you before.

When do we begin to covet? We covet what we see.​
