Hi all
Just Ordered a TLA-1R kit. I have been playing for 30 years and always wanted to build my own, looking forward to the challenge.

Welcome along Ben - the Tele's are a great place to start.
Recommendations:
1. Mock build first off - check that everything's there and that there are no issues with anything (uncommon, but easier to deal with up front than later);
2. Start a build diary - take photos;
3. Any problems - stop, update the build diary, grab a bevvy of choice, sit back and think about it - help is never far away;
4. Take your time;
5. Get used to sanding ;).
Hey Brendan. Thanks! I have a feeling there's a bit of sanding involved ...Quote:

Welcome Ben!
cheers,
Gav.
Thanks Andrew and Gav. I am looking forward to it.
Hi Bungee, welcome and look forward to what you do with your Tele. Have you settled on any colour or finish yet?
Hey Waz. I am thinking of a blonde finish, with the grain showing through. I ordered the White pearl pick guard. I spotted a blonde in one of the other builds and really liked it.
Sounds sweet. Did you get a maple or rosewood fret board?
Gone for the rosewood.
Good choice for a first build as less finishing to worry about with rosewood.
Welcome Ben! What part of Sydney are you in?
welcome to the forum Ben. Good luck with your tele build.
There's lots of help here on the forum so start a build diary and ask any questions you have there
