Tele build. Ugliest guitar ever!

Now get the belt sander back out and relic that beotch!

I think you might want to get a more authentic bridge than that though.

I'm pretty sure there's an authentic unobtainium one on ebay right now.

I am brand new to Fender and Teles. That's like speaking french to me.
I had to order the bridge plate and the brass saddles seperate to get the setup I have now. Whats the difference?

Edit: After I re-read this post, it comes across as dickish. I'm asking out of curiosity. Not being rude.

I really like it! It has a very rustic look to it, can't wait to see it when its done!

[karpathion]

It's taking longer than I thought it would to get the neck and all the finishing pieces, but I did finally get my pickguard.

Nothing is buttoned down yet, this is just a mock up. I think I should have gone lighter on the guard, but the engraving gives a little bit of light to all the dark. All the screws will help give a little more to it as well.

I should get the neck thursday, should have ordered it a little sooner. I didn't think about how long it takes to build, and ship from Washington, to Georgia.

so its gonna be a maple or RW neck?
Stainless Steel frets?

tell us man

[Kam]

That looks seriously cool, man.

Now we just wait to see if your choice of fretboard makes or breaks it...

[icantbuyafender]

a graphite neck would be the cherry on top... or maple with ebony fretboard

[Coma]

How you would ever consider this to be the ugliest guitar ever is beyond me. I frickin' hate the tele shape with a passion, and even I am getting the hots for this. It just looks... classy. Like a really nice suit.

[Bass_Medic_05]

Yeah it's far from ugly.....in fact it's one of the nicer tele's I've seen! Great job!

[TheLivingDead]

That's lookin' real nice!

[TattooedCarrot]

Looks great, the appointments are a little too cowboy for me, but what would you expect from a tele? That wood and finish looks most excellent.

[d1dsj]

Looking good, and yeah... it's far from ugly!

[elscorcho]

+1

...the PG looks great w/ that dark wood!

[bluesbend]

Coming along quite nicely, good job.

[jcthejester13]

Holy hell that is one hot lookin Tele. Gotta go Ebony on Maple for the neck though.

[KeeperOS]

I don't get it, what's wrong with it?

[karpathion]

I got my neck in today. I am very pleased with Warmoth!
It's a Warmoth Pro. I did go with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard.
I picked it from the line up. I thought it had a great grain and color.
6150 amazing feeling frets.
I'm ganna start putting everything together tonight.
I'm getting excited now! It's getting close to, new guitar day!
Now I just have to figure out if I want to finish the neck like I did the body.

[karpathion]

I'm trying to get a better picture.

[kevlar3000]

That looks killer !
