Nice one Woks great minds think alike ;) Now I've got the pup route out of the way time to finish the body and get onto the wiring. I've decided on 5 way switch (Bridge, Bridge+Middle, Middle, Middle+Neck, Neck) with volume & tone.
The neck is almost done a couple more light TO coats then leave to cure for a bit before fret polish & reassemble of hardware.
Your Tele looks good I like the 2x stripe grain feature!
cheers Ponch, that's why I chose that part of the marri slab, should look good once its sanded and grain filled.
I am planning similar regarding wiring.
Hey wokks and Panch, how high do your tele necks sit above the body when the heel is seated in the pocket? (not counting the pickguard)
hey Andy, I can check when I get home from work, otherwise measure your ash tele and work on that. From memory my neck pocket is 17mm deep
I lent it to a friend :(:o
Mines about 7.25mm (looking from the side) hope that helps

The pups all fit & wiring makes it to the control cavity

looks great Ponch, did you have to enlarge the neck pup cavity ? I only found out the lipstick tele neck pups are a bit smaller than a strat style single coil
@ Andy just measured about 3 teles and my fingerboards sit about 8mm above the body (not the pickguard)
I think PBG teles have a 16mm deep neck pocket, My CNC bodies cut to 17mm deep so the neck sits a bit lower.
Cheers Woks, yes the neck pup route was a tiny bit too small, just a small amount filed away around the curved side parts sorted that out and allowed the Strat neck pup to drop in.
yeah Ponch I found the cavity was a bit narrow. I didn't have a strat size pup template so used the tele one and had to move it about 4 or 5 times to get it big enough. Worked in the end !
