For my next build, I wanted to delve back into the world of telecasters and after seeing this kit pop up the other day, I had to have it.



Say hello to the TL-1Q. Quilted veneer with the new black wood binding. Sexy.

I'm aiming for a fairly modern take on a tele. The rear will be getting a tummy contour, a lower horn access contour and a reworked neck joint. I plan to reprofile the neck closer to a strat profile and chuck in some Tonerider hot classics for the pups (first time with single coils since my very first guitar).

A wipe over with a damp cloth shows quite a lovely top.



But, it is super thin. Gonna have to be extra careful not to burn through when sanding.
