Wood! (No Warmoth content)

[Fat Pete]

Seems I'm getting a reputation as some kind of candy-lovin' dandy, so just to prove I can be a little subtle sometimes, here's something a little more... woody.

Musikraft maple/kingwood neck and guitarbuild.co.uk 2-piece walnut body. The neck is actually the first neck I bought when I caught the building bug - I was obsessed with building a Thinline Tele (that body warped - really, the whole thing twisted!) Anyway, it's been hanging around for years in various forms but is finally finished and going to a new home with my bro (he's Lex Wilkinson).

...so there!

Oh, like THAT gets you off the hook.  That's gorgeous.

That's a beauty, Fat Pete. I salute your taste.

Awesome tele Pete... :guitarplayer2:

I'm digging that walnut.  :kewlpics:

Beautiful instrument you have there, comrade. I'm especially drawn to that pickup. It reminds me of something from a G&L guitar. What brand and model is it?

 

[bagman67]

If it's the same as his baby blue Tele, it's from these guys:

Yep, Bagman's right. It's a Catswhisker Pickups T-Bucker. Very nice it is too!

Very, very nice, Pete, but you're not out of the woods quite yet... :toothy10:

That neck is gorgeous! That body looks great with the single pickup/ smaller pickguard, too.  Almost makes me wish I wasn't trying to sell my Tele. Almost.

Beautiful. Very nice look with the natural walnut and black. :icon_thumright:

 

[Glimmer]

Agreed. That is a beautiful one!

 

[BigSteve22]

Woody goodness for sure. Nice..........

 

[Guitarsan]

Gorgeous, I'm trying to learn about which color and wood combinations work best. (Understanding some of that is subjective). Initially I wouldn't have put that body and neck together, thinking it would be too matchy colorwise, but that just works! Much to learn, do I.

What brand/type of pickup is that bridge pickup?

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed it above first go round.

Sometime subtle wins! Very nice!
