    I wasn't sure about the dark stain with a rosewood fretboard and black guard, but it works! I like it!

    Setup completed. Set the neck relief, adjusted string heights, filed nut slots, intonation completed. All sounds good! I will let everything settle for a few days and recheck.

    So my first tele style guitar is completed.
