Andy, that is one heck of a nice tele.
Very nice Andy!

well done Andy good to see some decent pics of the build. Was worth the wait, it's come up very nicely and some tasty upgrades. Looks like a bone nut you didn't include in the upgrades list. Looks like its not tuned up for the pics not much string tension on the head (or they look like old strings). How does it sound and play what's the verdict ? How did it intonate ?
Thanks for the kind comments guys. I didn't get a really good shot full shot from the front and back but i'll try to get one up soon.
Ahh yes it is a DB bone nut special. Yes they are the kit strings that I have re-used a few times and very kinky but its in tune. The intonation is slightly sharp but the best that I could achieve with those strings (i'm going to have to re-intonate when i put '10's on it anyway). I need to file the bone nut down slightly as its a tiny bit high. and theres one loosish connection under the volume knob thats driving me bonkers that i'll have to re-solder .....once I can stop playing long enough to remove the control cavity.Quote:

good stuff Andy, thought the strings had been re-wound on the tuners a few times. Be good to see a good daylight pic of back and front as you say. Looking forward to a sound demo !
Some great entries already.
