There's something seriously sexy about a jet black Tele. What state are you in Maxaxe?

Hi Adam

I'm in a state of excitement . . . um, meaning good old W.A. and of course busting to finish the next stages of the job.
I'm also in a state of apprehension . . . sounds like you go around Hoovering up Tele's for the wall 8O !
Think I'll get some dynabolts organised.

There's your mistake right there mentioning WA, had you said North Korea your tele may have been safe.....

Nah, should have said my Pest Cave, I have a Jack Russell, they are bred for hunting!

A bit more work done now . . . :|

Hardware fitted, pickups wired.
Next jobs of course are setting & fitting the neck, stringing & intonation etc.
Some eagle eyed luthiers may wonder - why two end pins on the bottom?
Answer: I hate guitars rolling over sideways when leant against an amp plus I don't wanna trip over any stands.

Pic No.1 below makes the Satin Black body look lighter than in real life.
Pic No.2 is the answer to my biggest problem . . .

Next post (hopefully) will be the finished article.

That is a really gorgeous Tele Maxaxe, make sure you enter this for May Guitar of the Month, if you have it finished before the end of April. If you;re ever near Highgate send me a message and we'll get some Pit Bull Guitar Studio shots (and I'll see how it looks on my wall surrounded by DB's masterpieces).
