Another Custom Order that arrived not exactly as ordered. This one is missing the veneer the customer wanted.

A very nice looking kit with a string through body bridge and the neck pickup rout nice and clean for a single coil.

The maple fretboard is particularly nice.

For a Basswood body that looks great and at a bargain price. That said, cannot justify a 3rd Tele and hope it goes to a good home.

Yip, the next one was going to be a TL51 anyway. Wanted a String through Tele, and as the plan was to do it in a solid colour, the figure on the body was of no consequence. So the $100 saved can go on bits.

Only getting the body and neck. Plan is a solid pastel/surfy colour, and use Fender parts for most of the hardware, get it as close to the real thing without putting fender on the headstock as I can.

Lucky Ive got a birthday in about 6 weeks

Look out Frankie, sounds like Sea Foam Green might be the plan for this one.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I would have bought it if I thought there was even a remote chance of it turning SFG!

Nice work Rosco. Had my eye on this too but couldn't quite pull the trigger.
Will make a really nice Tele, especially with that neck route.

cheers,
Gav.

Oh well never mind. :p

The grand plan, is the LP, the Tele, a 335, a Strat and an RC base. Then I'm supposed to stop. That should keep me occupied for a couple of years.

Famous last words!

Good luck with that Rossc0! And a nice Tele kit BTW, especially with the smaller neck pup route

Showing my ignorance here. Never owned a tele, so what are the relevance the few comments a couple of you have made on the smaller neck pup route?

Thanks

Hey Rossco, good score on the kit mate. All the previous PBG tele kits have a massive neck pup route so you can't use a single pup surround and even a humbucker ring doesn't cover the cavity so you really have to use a pickguard

This was originally my Custom order. As Woks said, the single pickup route was so I could use a pickup ring rather than have a pickguard covering the quilted maple veneer.
