My Thinline Tele Build
I received a kit for Christmas from my wife (after dropping many hints on my end).
She actually paid attention and got me the thinline kit with the bigsby.
Here is where I am so far...
I've rough fitted the pieces together, had to open up the cutout for the humbuckers just a little (thank God for Dremel Tool).
I've sanded the body to 600 grit, have the first primer coat on (and sanded)
The headstock design is to match the standard telecaster headstock.
I rough cut with a jigsaw, then finished the rest with handfiles and sandpaper.
I have 5 coats of TruOil on the headstock and neck.
So far so good. I'll post pix later today.

deleted the post, bad links

I'm just getting 404 errors on all those links.

Yep, I am too now...I'll figure it out and try to post actual pix in the next couple days.

You don't seem to be linking to the actual pictures as the path reference should end with a .jpg or .png or whatever the picture type is. It's likely that you've copied the path to a temporary page they were displayed on, rather than a link to the picture itself.
Once you manage to get a link ending with the file type, you should be there.
