months and months of work almost at an end, it's going to have a g&l string ferrule put in the back of it, thanks to bigal for shipping that to me.
just gotta try various pickups & wiring in it but it's almost all done![]()

Here's my '99 Am Dlx Tele... or special edition. I don't know which, bought it used with the bigsby & P90 already installed. Routing appears to be 100% factory.
I used to own this Schecter USA Tele... SN# 980683 If this ever turns up, a reward IS offered...
And I just completed the finish work on this one... currently hanging from the ceiling while it cures. This was a kitchen table test-fit after 2-3 coats of Tru-Oil... the final deal has several. Warmoth neck, USACG thinline body.

Thanks!
There is no "clear coat" per say... I finished the neck & body with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil gunstock. In the pictures there, I think it's three coats. I had the body & neck hanging from the garage ceiling with some really untrue work lights & brought it into the house to get a better sense of what it looked like, snapped a few pictures. It now has about 6 coats & is way glossier! Couple more days of curing and I can add the "sheen & conditioner" stuff, maybe the wax too.
Creme binding would look cool... It would have to be handpainted on... I ordered a black guard for this one, but after seeing how dark the colors came out (darker then I expected) I started thinking that a creme or mint guard would be groovy...
Hmmmmm...



JOLLY, what's the red one, exactly? Looks modern.


My Fender John5 Tele, with Burstbucker Pro in the bridge, and currently being replaced with a SD P-Rail.

I only have a 52 RI Tele and a 72 RI tele.
I really love the sound, feel, fit and finish of the 52.
Yes, I am seeing a professional about the GAS... he's wrong








I'm going to be getting a 1-piece ash body for my Tele. Hopefully it'll all be done by the time I get back from Afghanistan!! Then there'll be an update on here!!!![]()



That is one badass guard, man...
I care, she's unbelievable.
That is what you do when you have a huge set of bawls. Cool headstock and knobs. Congrats.
Snakehead Pinecaster FTW!
Classy. What is the screw on the side of the neck?
Mommy, so evil...
P90, natural, Bigsby, binding... noyce!
Rawk! Love the control set up.Originally Posted by butnut
