Yeah I agree, have a go at a burst. Worst case scenario you end up doing a solid colour.
It's funny, but sometimes these challenges turn into the best part of a kit build.

A burst would look great.
That tele looks fantastic and exactly the kind of method I had in mind... ok I’m going to give it a shot!

Here’s what I did with the heel, feels much more comfortable than the squared off shape

And the headstock. I wanted a simple shape so used a pint glass as a template

And how it looks attached...

I like that head profile, it seems unusual but nicely understated. It mirrors the opposite end where the body is also a single radius curve.
Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
Yeah that was my thinking. Wanted something simple but different without being whackyOriginally Posted by JimC

Your headstock makes me smile knowing the template. Good luck with the burst. Give it a good practice until you are happy with your results.

Very effective headstock on that guitar shape, well done.
Are these a set neck or are you going to do ferrules and screws?
