My fist build and I am super stoked with it. Showcase body and neck, Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen hum sized P90 pickups. Padouk neck with Ziricote board, standard thin profile. Sounds amazing - like a Tele crossed with a LP Jr. Plenty of spank but huge P90 grind, sounds ridiculous with drive especially . Had a luthier do the wiring and final neck work - I am over the moon with this guitar, it's better than I ever thought it'd be. Thanks to everyone for all their help, I can't wait to get started on another one now.

Will take one once my camera battery is recharged...thanks guys. I'm stoked on it.
 
looks awesome! not bad for a "b-stock" body (if i'm thinking of the right build...)  :icon_thumright:  very nice!

gotta love a tele deluxe! pics of mine coming soon. it's all strung up, waiting for a few parts that should be here friday. as long as all this ridiculous snow doesn't stop the package from getting here on time
 
Word - yup, it's the b-stock body although you'd be hard pressed to even notice the dent.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
 
Looks awesome.  The black on white really makes it look classy.  Further strengthening the bid for my next build to be a tele deluxe.
 
that out put jack is sexy :eek: where did you get it? i may just steal that design and make one of my own.

Tips for taming 'sharp' saddle height screws?
Click to expand...

There are socket set screws (which is what saddle height screws are called formally) sold both with brass tips and with nylon tips, or with "full dog", "half dog", "flat" or "oval" points; all of these will be gentler on your bridge than traditional "cup point" socket set screws.

They will come both in metric diameters / thread pitches as well as English diameters / thread pitches, both in black oxide steel (undesireable for guitar applications, will rust) or stainless (this is the one you want); bring one with you to any fastener retail storefront in your area and they will be able to size and match them for you (or ask the bridge's manufacturer).

I'd recommend Grainger, Fastenal, Tractor Supply Company, or even a small company like John Perine in Seattle.

Point being, you want one of the types I recommended instead of the cup point socket set screws, probably starting with brass tips, then moving on to full dog / half dog, then flat or oval, and lastly nylon-tipped (because of string vibration dampening issues).

This guitar is still very very sweet. Yum. What bridge is that?

That looks like a compact NAD unit under the tv btw...?
