I'm building this at the same time as the TL-1TB Kustom , that way I have something to do while waiting on parts for the other.
So far I haven't done much other than a polish of the frets and started planning pick up surround shapes. These and the string through tail piece will be done in aluminium plate, not sure if I'll polish them or tumble finish them. Bridge will be a Schaller roller. I have started marking out the body shape mods, the tail piece will reflect the shape of the "vee" not the current layout of the ferrules.
