Hello from the North of England.
It's chucking it down as usual up here but my week has been brightened by receiving an email with the above title yesterday morning.
On its way to me shortly should be an ES5V kit with some Grover tuners, which will keep me occupied for a bit.
A couple of years ago I decided I needed a project to keep me occupied over the summer holiday and bought a cheap tele kit. But because that really didn't seem like enough of a challenge I bought a small battery powered amp and built that into the guitar as well.
Fast forward to now and I need another project but decided I wanted to build something a little nicer and a bit different.
Will post some pics when I get started.
Cheers all
Drew

Hi, Drew, and welcome. SoS Wonks here. Start a build diary and ask away about any questions you may have. It will probably take a few days for the wood in and around the neck joint to settle down after the travel and varying climates, so don't worry if it's a bit tight to start with. A week should be enough.

Hi Wonks/Simon, thanks for the welcome. I'd seen a couple of your posts on the some of the other threads and wondered if this was you. As it were...
Just waiting on the letter from the PO at the moment.

Cheers, I enjoyed knocking this one up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-168_dviOw and it's good for starting conversations, but i'm hoping to get something a bit nicer this time round. I may come to regret this decision...

Hi Drew, Welcome along to the fun house.

Checked out your YT video and wondering what the additional switches and knobs do on your Tele? Does the PC fan work or just an ornament?

Cheers, Waz.
