So I'm just about to hit purchase on a custom order (and will start a proper build diary when i get into it) but thought I'd throw my idea out there as this is my first time. I mostly chose pbg because these forums looked so helpful.
I play a Peavey T60 and recently purchased an ECG aluminum neck for it, leaving my original T60 neck lying on a shelf. I've always wanted a semi hollow to have as my second guitar so thought building it would be fun. The neck is 25 1/2" scale and apparently fits tele's no worries (aside from the neck plate screws being placed differently), so I've decided to order a TL-1TB made from Ash, without the neck holes drilled. Having the Peavey branding on the neck and using a Peavey neck plate (from ebay) i thought I may as well fully dress it as a Peavey (maybe I'll add a couple extras "0" on the end and make it a T-6000 :P) and get a T60 bridge and knobs (also from ebay) so ill get them to leave the bridge routing out also. I never use the neck pickup so I'm gonna leave that out and just have the bridge pickup routed, probably with a Bare Knuckle Nailbomb in it. In the end i think I'll end up with something like a semi hollow Esquire. To finish I'm thinking I'll use a pale pink with a white pickguard...
Thats my plan anyway! Any words of wisdom before I blunder into this?
