September 2015 Guitar of the Month

[Rabbitz]

Hey Woks,

Thanks.

It sounds better than I can play, that's for sure. Still toying around with the set up - it wont stay in tune yet. It's only had tension on it for less than 24hrs so the timber is still moulding itself.

Plus, as I usually play an acoustic, and use a clip on tuner, do you reckon I can find one of my (several) plug in tuners? Clip ons aren't accurate or stable enough on this one!!

nice job Rabbitz, simple , classic and classy (the judges do like headstock logos, just saying...)

Hi all,

Here's my first entry for Guitar of the Month, its my second build, but I'm still tinkering on the first...

It's a standard TL-1A kit, with a bone nut and the added Bigsby B5. First time trying a sunburst, which was a combination of the Dingotone Outback Sunset and Blackstump finishes. Went with a matte finish, which I'm super pleased with.

Very happy with how it's turned out, and sounds great. Will eventually upgrade the pickups, but need to do a bit of saving first...

That looks great Tom!

tele looks excellent Tom, you did a great job on the burst. So is this an alder body ?

@Arzi, spectacular build, some really nice personalized touches that make it stand out, awesome stuff.
@Rabbitz, I'd be well happy with these results, I especially love the vibrancy of the top and the shimmer you achieved on the headstock, quality work man!
@Tom, I love everything about this, I think you should probably give it to me;-)

Tom that is just a great classic axe, well done

Thanks guys,

yep, Wokka, Alder body. I think you did one similar a while ago? You inspired me...

cheers Tom, yes I built an alder tele a while ago in a lightish red stain
