That is sweet Wokks, tele shape lends itself well to these sorts of builds

Very cool indeed, probably the only build direction Leo missed for the Tele
cheers for the comments all. I got the body polished and assembly done lastnight, wired up and works. Still got strap pins and string retainers to go on. First time I've strung a reverse headstock, it's weird using opposite hands.
I'll post some better daylight pics soon. Early thoughts it plays pretty well, Action is way too high but didn't hear any fret buzz so neck is level
@ Ponch hope you recover from your operation and are back in the man cave soon ! It's the best therapy !

got to cut a control cover but will worry about that later. As usual I wired the pups the wrong way around on the switch so need to swap the wires.
The eagle eyes will spot I forgot to plan for left hand tuners on the reverse headstock haha oh well

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Thank God I have a Foxtel subscription and the NRL season has started as stuff all else to watch on TV these days.
Hey Woks, good work on converting DB to supporting one of your local teams. Do Freeo play at Subiaco when the Eagles are out of town?

There's still cricket happening on Fox Waz and in between the incredible number of Andre Reiu concerts there is some quality stuff on the Arts channel
Hi Dave, I went cheapskate on the latest renewal and dropped some content and sadly miss out on the Arts channel as they do have some great music shows from time to time. Not really into Andre Reiu so not crying myself to sleep over missing any of those shows. As for cricket, used to be a huge fan but lost interest a few years ago plus it does drag on all day. Good if you have nothing else to do but since taking up this guitar building there has been many other priorities to consider ahead of endless hours in front of the box.
