Hey Everyone,
I've got a custom Tele build scheduled for this year which I'm excited about, I found a nice Alder Tele body that comes pre-finished in Butterscotch Yellow on eBay and it looks like my Andoer all maple Tele neck should fit nicely in the neck pocket, once I've got everything I need I'll start a build diary for it so I can document the process....stay tuned.
Okay, so here's what the body looks like:

Now one question I'd like to ask you all is which colour scratchplate would look best on it, black or white?, I'm going with all chrome hardware though.
Here's the neck that's going on the Alder body:
It's got a 16 inch radius on it which is much flatter than a vintage 50's Tele, which were usually 7.25 inches, the bone nut I'm going to be fitting to the neck seems to be compatible with the fretboard radius so that's a relief, the nut trench does need to be deepened a bit cause it currently looks like the 1st fret action is going to be miles too high.
Here's a pic of the Telecaster body I recently bought on eBay:
