Thank you Adam. You have been a pleasure to do work with. I learnt so much doing my tele build (geez that was an unusual birthday present I gave myself) The guitar is first rate despite my best...
Thanks McCreed
The missus thought that was very funny.
I was happiest that it sounds good - still working on the set-up but it will get there:cool:
Hi
Have finally got there. To recap
TL 1 Kit
Chrome Babicz Bridge
Chrome control plate
Upgraded Electronics
Tonerider Vintage Plus set
Black Grovers
Black Strap Buttons

Hi
Invent is pretty kind - I haven't been game to see if I can replicate it - if you make enough mistakes you will eventually make one that works, I've made a lot - been painting sanding changing...
They'd still be better than me. Was an act of bravery to take to the body with a rasp and took a while to be happy with it...
Anyway just an idea for Pitbull to consider - if they don't think...
Hi
doing the same with my tele build. Haven't drilled out the new hole for the reworked neck plate. Bit hard to see it as I've painted it to match the guitar - its in the first pic. Would be...
Sorry not to have posted. Have a few things going on ie life.
Had ideas of doing a swirl finish - (the web makes things look easy.) Did a few test runs which turned out ok. Carved a trolling...
The Ultra series neck to body would be an interesting addition to the range. I assume there would need to be some work to avoid copyright but a great idea.
I'm attempting something similar on my...
Hi Just did my maple neck with bloodwood - its turned out a bit more orange than classical amber. Not the worst match against the blue body but not quite what I was expecting.
Message to self -...
Hi
Beautiful finish - I can see the work you put in
Where did you get the DR Neons from? Would look good on my TL1 project.

Hi
I have found that my ideas are sometimes a bit ahead of my capabilities but I have done some good things - I built a leather wrapped 24kg game rod in red and white colours (swans) that is very...
Hi
Red Abalone - posted pics in my build diary. I'm continually beset with doubt - amazing how it never seems to be exactly like the you-tube videos. Some acts of bravery with the finish to come...
Hi
Drilled out the fretboard markers.
Will be colouring neck with dingo tone bloodwood which should give me the contrast needed for the red abalone dots.
Otherwise it will be a statement ie...
Hi
You have a lot of confidence in my skills.
Kiesel Guitars are a lot more expensive than I would pay (or would be allowed to pay) - I think they are trading on name and a monopoly - can't see...
Hi
I agree with all the contras It wouldn't be for a beginner but would be a step up from a full kit. Really depends on the demand. I need to finish my first one and then a couple more I think...
Hi
a lot left field and maybe not a market given I only found one site:
https://www.kieselguitars.com/necks/guitarneckthrough.php
They do "Gibson" style necks but no reason it couldn't be...
I couldn't get happy with my string through ferrule holes. When I did a test run they weren't straight - not out by much but enough to cause an itch.
Filled them and redid the guide holes - made...
Hi
Can't answer that question but if you are in Australia sites like Artist Guitars and Kookaburra Guitars do cheap cases and free (or cheap) shipping.
Will be picking up a case when I've...
Hi Scott
Thanks for that. Exactly what I was looking for.
Looking at the post you are a braver man than me - very impressive.
I'm doing the 4 way switch on the TL - that's about as far as...
I'm glad to find this thread as I'm wanting to change the black fret markers on my TL1 maple neck to something more interesting.
I'm comfortable with removing the markers on the fretboard. Woltz...
Getting there - body primed - had forgotten I was going to paint the headstock so it needs a couple more coats

Hi Dave
That's the 60th anniversary release. I'm building a pretty standard Tele so this wouldn't be on my list for now but there is interest on the net in these as a kit option.
I agree I'm...
Hi
of course
Could also get a plain body and rout the controls etc but then you have to find the control plate and pick guard etc.
My next would be a sort of Ibanez A series style which...
Hi
I know not everyone likes them but...
Idle thought really but could be of interest. Snake head neck as an option for a S type could be an option?

Thoughts?
Hi
slightly refined the headstock
