    Cool Gav's Seafoam Green Telecaster

    hi guys,

    I just finished my Seafoam Telecaster. It's a non-PBG kit (I couldn't resist the price sorry Ads) so yeah - points off for that. Despite that, I think she came out pretty damn nicely. It's basswood, finished in MTN94 colour and acrylic clear. The neck is clear Wudtone neck finish and the decal is an Andy special. The pickups are a GFS Professional '63 Vintage Wound set.

    Hey Jarrod, I've put TR rocksongs in my tasmanian blackwood scratchy but I need two single coil pups for the tele.

    Was planning the Tonerider tele set for it
