Vintage Modern Tele neck, carved top body

[mikeb83]

Black ebony fingerboard, maple neck, compound radius, clear satin nitro finish, no inlays. Great looking neck, my first from warmoth.

The body is a carved top, white finish. Also great quality. This is my first custom build, and I'm very impressed.

Thanks for the comments! John, I definitely think it's a nice trend, you have a sharp lookin' setup over there!

This is my first build, and I can definitely see the addictive nature in it  :laughing7:

My next (and only my second) Warmoth build will probably be a Tele. I'd discounted the carved tops as I didn't think the images on Warmoth's site made them look that great, but seeing the two posted here have made me re-assess that opinion.

Have you got any more pix? Maybe with some reflections to show off the curves...

I especially like the blue one there Cagey. Any more deets?

I especially like the blue one there Cagey. Any more deets?

It's a Blue Ice finish over Black Korina, bound in a 2 layer black/cream. Pickups are a GHS "Dream 180" set. The vibrato is a Schaller...

They call it a "vintage tremolo", but there aren't any vintage guitars it would fit on. It uses Floyd rose mounting stud spacing. Nice piece, though.

I haven't finished it yet because I haven't managed to get a neck that would make me happy. Every time I get ready to order one, something else takes a healthy bite out of my discretionary funds.
