Brendan, too cold back East... I will just have to take my chances and upgrade the security system
The Fretboard is Tassie Blackwood. I gave it the thin superglue treatment so it is as hard as Ebony.

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Jeepers DB, that Tele is really going to be something else.
One day it will be behind armoured glass in the Louvre.
This is a piece of art......

looks awesome DB, agreed one of your best tele scratch builds. Good luck keeping it away from TAS !
So no fret dot markers on the fretboard ?

Awwwwww geez Guys... Thanx for all of your kind words
All of you are building beautiful Guitars, all of you inspire me to reach deep and improve my own work and many of you leave me shaking my head and saying to myself how I wish I could build something as beautiful as that!
I consider myself as being equal to you all, we all have our unique skill sets.
Woks is the master of the burst, Brendan is the master of the elegant and simple beauty, Jarrod is the master of the acrylic finish, Robin... well... words fail me as they do for AJ's builds, Maxie is the master of the left feild, whacky but amazing build........
I could go on, but all of you are just simply fantastic Luthiers in your own right, and I am deeply honoured to have had the oppourtunity to see your builds and to call some of you my personal freinds.

DB - after seeing the tele above, I certainly don't deserve that title - it's all yours...

Hey DB. Really love the MOP inlay and that binding around the neck.
And speaking of inlays... d'ya reckon you could post a little 'how to inlay for dummies' thread? Now, I don't have a router but I have got a dremel so if it can be done with that I would love to know how it's done.
