Picked up some sand paper (240/400/600), some painters tape and a cork sanding block. Should've checked my list before I left, I missed the 1200 grit.

Taped the tuners in place to check string alignment, wouldn't recommend doing this without a clamp like I did haha.


Small gap in the neck pocket. If you came across this with your build/s let me know what you decided to do? Just left it or..?



My main concern is the split, as seen in the first pic of the thread, in the base of the neck. If you have any ideas regarding that let me know. The nightmare is I drill the bolt-on holes and it expands or something. Other than that there's a lot of sanding in my future, as well researching paints etc.

I plan to use Tru-Oil for the finish on both the neck and body, painting the Tele Body (might try stencil something on it as well).
