    Tla-1

    Finally got this one completed. TLA-1 kit neck, body & pickguard.

    From top to bottom: Gotoh SG381 tuners, Gotoh string tree, bone nut, frets levelled & crowned. 3x coats of TO on neck/fretboard. Neck has a very slim shim at at the head stock end of pocket (about 1/2 credit card depth). 'Fifth' logo - this was my 5th build....

    Body: Dyed with Dylon 'Goldfish Orange'. Grainfilled with a light Timbermate (I think maple?) with 4 coats of TO. Pup bridge: Tonerider hotclassic. Bridge pup from a F*r standard Tele. Bridge: Wilkinson compensated. Input jack - modern US style. US Tele spec electrics with tone bleed mod. Neck plate from Realparts. Used good chrome quality screws.

    Body has a tummy and arm cut.

    Hard to capture this in a photo in light and with low-resolution upload. There are a lot of gold highlights that do not show up face on.
