Here are some pics of my entry.
It's a standard kit with no mods.
Thought it would look good with the Outback Sunset Dingotone with the black against it.
A few wiring issues as i put it together but now all fixed and it plays really well, lightweight and it has a good action.
I really enjoyed putting it together and as it was my first build I took my time and reckon the finish is great.
Now to start on the SG...
Cheers,
Rob...

That is hot. The black hardware works incredibly well with the colour you have chosen. Is the neck pickup black as well?

[aridas]

Yes it's all black hardware, great when you have a vision and it turns out ok

[pablopepper]

That's cool. Thumbs up, man. Top effort.

sweet looking Tele Rob, well done on the colour choice and the black hardware works really well. You need to enter it in the August Guitar of the month thread.
Were the pics taken from inside a caravan ?
SG for your next build a great choice

Great looking guitar! Lovely colours

My vote is that the pics are from inside a converted bus.

Here is my build of a Gr-1sf in flat black with satin finish. Stock parts except one balance pot and shielded wire, with WierdBits custom wiring schematic: pickup selector, master tone, pickup balance pot, and master volume. It plays great and is almost as loud as a regular acoustic guitar. Thankfully the wiring is perfectly quiet with no hum. My one finish complaint was not having the exact shade of off white to match the binding (mine is slightly more white as seen on the truss rod cover) but overall it was the guitar I set out to make. Thanks to the forum for advice and encouragement!
Aloha, Jeff
