Well, my first kit arrived today. I had wanted a TL-1AR but Adam had some mis -marked boxes so I settled on a TLA-1 with a rosewood fretboard neck. It won't make much difference as I plan to do the guitar solid white, but I did want the contrasting fretboard. As you can see I have all ready rounded up a few bits from around the place to up grade it, a set of Kluson tuners with white knobs, a full ashtray bridge with cover and a 3 ply pick guard. Still in transit are a set of Benson Custom Vintage pick ups and upgraded pots and switch and a bone nut.
I don't expect progress to be real fast for a while,with humidity and temperatures high and a crook set of lungs I'll concentrate on the neck for now, cutting the headstock to a vintage Tele shape and leveling frets, once the weather cools off I'll start on the body.
The guitar will be solid white including the back of the neck and headstock both sides. It will be the opposite of my other evil black guitar, I'm calling this the Spell-E-Caster (and have headstock script worked out when I can find a water slide maker)
I had planned to put this together all stock and mod it later but figured....do it once , do it right.
