This is my TL1-TH, the 'Hold Fast'. Finish is eucalyptus green spray can with poly' over top, scraped binding and hand drawn name on headstock.
Mostly stock hardware except for the recessed jack socket, triangle neck plate, strap buttons and white top hat selector switch knob.
I converted it to a string through body, copied the headstock shape from a Trussart Steelcaster, and reshaped the pick guard to more closely resemble the original. Cavities all shielded with copper tape and it's quiet as the grave.
Only other thing I will do to it is swap to a bone nut, was going to upgrade pickups but the stock ones sound so good I won't bother.
Had a blast building this and love playing it, hope you enjoy it.
Worlds okayest guitar player.

+1 That headstock is a cracker - I love seeing the subtle changes that people make away from the "norm". Great work!
Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"
Thanks for the kind comments everyone, this is my fifth PBG build but the first I thought was good enough to enter in GOTM.
The build standard is so high in this comp that it has made me try harder to lift my game, so many awesome builds this month (and every other month) it's the best inspiration going.
