    Finished

    Body sanded and polished (it is very white!) and neck attached. Final set up done and used once in a live setting. People were impressed with the sound, although I did use a lot of chorus effect. Benson pickups are very good. I have never owned a telecaster before but I am liking it very much.

    Classic Tuxedo! Looks good!

    If you like this as your "first" tele (and I say first because there will be another one )...

    try adding forearm and tummy cuts (like a strat) on your next one. You'll love it!

    Oh, and a reverse control plate...
