Actually, confession time, it's been over a year since I've judged a GOTM.
Very nice effort mate, the Tele looks sensational and the bike even better.
Is the Ashtray a Wilkinson? I looked everywhere for those for our TL-51 kit and could not find anything that was reasonable priced. If you could please send me a link for that ashtray, I'll check it out for including with our kit.
Thx guys for the comments.....and good luck to all the participants this month.....
Adam,
do you do a gold Back plate for the neck?
excellent entries again this month, I'm still getting over judging 12 entries last month !
Bluesmartyboy don't think the gold neck plate is sold separately, comes in a ST-1 and TL gold hardware upgrade and on FV-1 kits.
I suggest you have a look on ebay or the Realparts online store
here it is

don't forget you will need to order the 4 gold screws as well
Ah what the hell, here's my JBA-4 kit finished, Ash body and all stock except for the Entwistle pups (which sound great BTW). Rubbed in black stamp pad ink a half dozen times then 5 coats of clear gloss over the top to let the ash grain come through, Dingo wax for the fretboard. It's my second build and certainly won't be the last.
EX-1 finally done.
Been a long time getting this one finished and below I have listed all the mods and upgrades:
5 Coats Dingo Tone Coolangatta Gold Base Stain
5 Coast Dingo Tone Coolangatta Intensifier Coat
20 + (maybe even more) coats of Tru Oil
Dingobass Bone Nut and Neck Setup - best investment anyone can make. Awesome job and many thanks DB.
2 x Bourns 500k Audio Taper Push Pull Pots - one used to split neck PUP to slugs and the other to split bridge PUP to screws
Set of Tonerider Alnico IV Classic Vintage Voiced Humbuckers
1 x Sprague 0.022 Orange Drop Tone Capacitor
1 x Fidelity resistor & capacitor volume control upgrade
1 x Gotoh 3 position switch
1 set of Grover Locking Tuners
1 x Rosewood Truss Rod Cover
Dingo Tone Wax used on Rosewood Fret Board & Truss Rod Cover
Cat music Conductive Shielding Paint
Epiphone genuine Explorer Hard Case
Only standard parts used were the Bridge, Tail Stop, Strap Buttons & end jack plate and 1/4" socket as too hard finding a black retaining nut for a switchcraft one as threads differ.

That is a wicked black there GenX Dave. And I'm quite fond of Waz's stripped back EX.
Lots of entries this month and still 5 days to go.
