Oh man, that colour and finish is something else! Well done! Reminds me a little of the limited edition Tommy Emmanuel MIM signature Tele... But better!

Gtl-1 tele kit
Sent from my Moto G (5S) Plus using Tapatalk
Gtl-1. On another inspection, I can see the overall heel sits reasonably flush inside the pocket but with around a mm of space in the treble side. At the headstock, the bass side is 9 mm from the...
I guess it works to create a slightly squashed concertina file effect on the treble side

Radius is lower on the treble side at the heel by about 2mm. The neck at the heel is smaller by a few mm on the treble side as well. Ive truly about how to chock to make it even somehow but I don't...
So the title says it all. I've tried a search here on the forum but can't find much on any of this stuff. I'm hoping someone might have experienced any of this stuff out maybe remembers seeing it...
Thanks FrankenWashie,
Sounds like a plan!

Hey peeps.
My Gtl-1 kit doesn't have any holes drilled. Is there any advice you could give with these sort of kits? Alignment checks should be ok but I'm guessing that intonation will be another...
I didn't expect perfection when ordering the kit. Provided I can somehow fix stuff with basic tools I'd be happy to have a go. I guess it's just a question of if I'm biting off more than I can chew

Its tricky to choose one theme and one size to run it all the way up the fretboard. Even the last fret is out and I've only got 2 or 3mm to play with there. Maybe bigger dots from 1-12 and smaller...
I can see some off centre things going on with 3rd and 7th as well, but who knows, I might find some sort of other fret markers that might be doable with cutting new grooves. I wouldn't know where to...

Awesome grain on the fretboard! It also has a slight flame figure on the back of the neck too. The fretboard dots are grain filler,...
Did you do a mock setup to check the guitar's allignment prior to applying finish? You may want to double check the cavity routed for the bridge. It seems slightly off from your picture. It may just...
Hi Adam and the powers that be,
A while ago I think I read somewhere that 4 way tele wiring kits with 250k pots were coming soon? I think I may have read it somewhere on the 500k pot kit page?

Ok my end I can only see builds from 1 to 3 in your sig. Maybe it's a tapatalk glitch

Wow, Drew. That finish if nice! Looks like you're almost there... And on an arch top!

That's not a bad bridge, Waz. I'm thinking a, flat plate bridge. I love the Babicz Z series tele bridge but it costs a fortune. I'd go a US standard bridge but in Aus, the price for them is stupidly...
Cheers Fretworn and Dedman,
Seeing the work being done all over this forum has made it impossible not to buy a kit. I'm resisting looking at colour coats. I know I want a natural finish tele but...
I ordered my GTL-1 with maple fretboard on Sunday. I'm busting to get that box in front of me and crack it open.
My plans:
Clear neutral (or close to clear aka slightly amber tone) glassy or just...
Has anyone here in Australia used aquacoat? The internet isn't presenting many local options apart from a luthier website.
Anyone have a a supplier that they'd be willing to share?
Cheers,...
Adam says the GTL-1 kits are 4.5 to 5kg. That would bring the kit body to almost 10 lbs. Maybe he meant 4.5-5lbs? If it's kg, my back is gonna hate me! [emoji13]

American Ash. The newer GTL kit with awesome grain.

Hey guys,
Has anyone routed out the back or front of a tele body to reduce it's weight?
I wanted to do a waist and arm contour, but this will no doubt affect the way a cover plate will sit on...
This kit on the website is only offering gold or black hardware options. Is chrome (or whatever the silvery colour is) hardware available?
Cheers!
Derek.
