So here is my first build a TLA-1 kit.

I wasn’t going to submit this after seeing all of the incredible entries so far but figured that it would be worth it for the honest feedback that I can apply to future builds

This is an Ash kit with a walnut stain finished with Tru-oil. I was originally going to keep it satin but after seeing the potential sheen I decided to see how I would go with attempting a gloss.

Upgrades to the kit were:

Grover locking tuners
Tusq nut
Fender Twisted Tele Pickup set
3ply pickguard
Wilkinson bridge with compensated saddles
Schaller Strap Locks
CTS Pots
Oak Grigsby Switch
Switch craft jack
Electro socket jack mount
Recessed string ferrules
