Here she is....

[Dedman]

Fan-bloody-tastic Andy! She looks a million bucks and well worth the 8 month pregnancy

[Zandit75]

Beautiful Andy, another one to add to the loungeroom!

looking very speccy Andy, you are damn lucky you live far enough away from the tele napper.
Have you done the 4 way switch mod ? electrics look flash !
Presume you have tonerider pups

[Andy40]

Thanks Deddy, Zandit and Wokks. 8 months phew! I've never wanted a Tele so badly.

Yhep Tonerider hot classics, but just the standard 3 way switch wiring jobbie.

Got to intonate her this arvo and play for an hour or so. got a little bit of tweaking to do but shes got a beautiful voice.

Before you ask Wokks, shes finished with a thin coats of Tru-oil of the DT final coats. I realised that I was asking the DT final coats to do things that it is not designed to do...ie be thick. Next time I'll plan the finish a bit better.

Nice shot of the finished axe buddy. You showed a lot more patience and perseverance than most on this one. Well done.

[Andy40]

Thanks Waz an Ponch.

I friggin love this tele.

workin out all the kinks though.

Can anyone tell me why my volume pot is sweet as (ie when i turn it up it gradually increases perfectly) but the tone pot does almost nothing until the last say 1/4 of a turn?

Its wired correctly ....maybe i chose the wrong pot although i ordered one audio taper and one linear?
