Maybe gold Tele knobs??
Maybe gold Tele knobs??
I like the style of knob, but I'm not quite so keen on their colour. Maybe the amber version rather than straight gold? But as ILR said, gold Tele style knobs would work as well.

Here is my entry for the guitar of the month competition
TLA-1 kit build, ash body given a few coats of sanding sealer and then some shoe polish to bring out the grain, before sealing with wipe on poly
Came out a lot better than expected and I think the images don’t do it justice
also made a build diary (still editing the video) for anyone who may be interesdted

I had my brother-in-law record a quick clip of him playing our ES-1TL. Not trying to influence judging, but I thought you all would like to hear what she sounds like.
