Thinline Tele and JM-1

[keloooe]

Yeah just do what I do and sit and your front window just staring onto the street, eagerly awaiting the Oz post van!

Hi Ben thanks for your advise, so this tele has a cap? its good if its the case, I thought it was just partially hollowed Basswood.
I had a look at your Thinline pic, nice finish BTW, how does it sound? did you do any mod?

Budi

thanks! i like how it turned out. yeah sorry my build thread was ages ago and i couldnt be bothered to dig it up.

it sounds nice, im so slack i still havent done the frets yet, i was just playing it with a shitty action and a load of buzz before. mines all stock apart from a recessed jack socket.
i was gonna drill it for through body stringing but i dont have a drill press. am gonna get a dingobass bone nut for it though and finally fret level the neck

as far as building advice, its mostly gonna be teh same as most screw on neck style kits from here.
the wiring isnt as easy as a strat, but its not 335 difficult. im cack at soldering and it was fine.

basically if you have any issues or queries just ask people on here, i had no experience working on guitars or building or even staining wood, but i got it done.
everyone on the forums is super helpful and can offer some excellent advice-a fantastic combined knowledge base

no worries Budi, the build was about 18 months ago but I remember most of it. Don't sand the cap too much think its fairly thin.
It's got binding so a bit of cleaning up required.
Look forward to your build diary.
Keep looking for the Oz post van !

Nah no Oz Post Van today, still waiting!

Wish I could do that, but I am afraid bombshell across the road might mistaken me perving at her and call the cop

Hi Ben,

All good, I reckon I will take my time building this kit. That thru body stringing that's a bloody good idea.
Is the bridge included in the kit allow you to do that? or you have to get another bridge to suit that type of stringing

Budi

[BenWA]

the bridge with mine had the holes for through stringing, i got some ferrules off ebay for like $5 but then bottled it cos yeah i dont have a drill press and didnt trust myself to to try and do it freehand

Hi All, received txt message from Oz Post, there is parcel need to be collected from my local Post Office. Don't they deliver them no more. Not complaining I was just hoping for a surprise. Anyway will collect them, do a mock up build and will post couple pics.
