Thread: Hi - Country NSW

    Hi - Country NSW

    Hi all from country NSW, going to build a guitar at some stage. Going to start with a Tele as I don't have one. I have built a custom guitar amp so the electronic part is easy just the wood working that I will need to work on. Probably wait for it to warm up a bit but I have started buying tools and parts.

    Hi and welcome. There's not a lot of woodworking on a Tele kit - just shaping the headstock, so don't be too concerned. It's applying the finish that normally gives the most problems.

    Welcome TLP.

    Plenty of Tele's to pick from. Have you decided which one you are going to get?

    Cheers, Waz

    Know it well, a favourite stop of mine, or at least it used to be prior to a change in sales area.

    The TL-1 or TLA-1 probably as I think I will paint it. Going to replace the hardware with parts I want to get but I may still buy it as the whole set to see what the parts are like.
