Thought I might do something a little different, a Tele style with a neck break angle.....
This one is made up out of a body blank that had a few routing injuries... Hence the different shape to the upper bout.
Made another boo boo when routing the binding channel.. The workaround?
Rout it out and add Iroko binding, blue perloid purfling strip and finally red pearloid bindings.
Lets see how it turns out.
Can't wait to see how this progresses! I love pretty much anything Tele.
The challenge shall be once finished (assuming all goes to plan) keeping Adams sweaty hands off it......
Guess you should be glad I don't live over there! Ads and I could "fight" over them..hehehe :DQuote:

That sounds like a very tasty build indeed :)
Nice looking build DB. Should be a cracker. Thought you were going to keep it quiet from the tele napper!
Here's a mockup of what the outside will look like. I want it to be a really clean look.
It's gonna have a Sitka Spruce Soundboard but I want to try and not have binding on it if I can get away with it.

Oh nice idea both DB and Rob!
DB, going for a TOM bridge or standard Tele?
I don't think a Tele style bridge would work in this case pest.Quote:

I will say that if my hollow body Tele works out. The second one will also be hollow with a bigsby and 2 single coil lipstick tubes.with all controls on the side not the front. :D
I'm sensing a Tele Build Off!!! One day!!!
DB - looking great - BTW - Ads has never been to my place, so it might be safe to store it here once it's built.
this is a gem DB, and the Bigsby looks just right
Looking good DB, my Tele collection is lacking in the contoured body/Bigsby arm category. Nice work buddy.
Dammit!Quote:

Telenapper strikes!
DB, store it here!
But seriously, that thing is going to be awesome! The day I get my arse down to Perth I'll definitely check that baby out!
DB I'll keep it safe for you! I am a Tele and know how to treat them and I would NEVER let Adam get his hands on it. :D
DB you have blown it mate, say goodbye to another tele build !
