Thought I might do something a little different, a Tele style with a neck break angle.....
This one is made up out of a body blank that had a few routing injuries... Hence the different shape to the upper bout.
Made another boo boo when routing the binding channel.. The workaround?
Rout it out and add Iroko binding, blue perloid purfling strip and finally red pearloid bindings.
Lets see how it turns out.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Can't wait to see how this progresses! I love pretty much anything Tele.

The challenge shall be once finished (assuming all goes to plan) keeping Adams sweaty hands off it......

Guess you should be glad I don't live over there! Ads and I could "fight" over them..heheheOriginally Posted by dingobass
IF this winter ever ends and the temps get above the teens my first build on here will be a custom hollow body Tele with Piezo under bridge pup and a single coil lipstick tube.
That sounds like a very tasty build indeed

Nice looking build DB. Should be a cracker. Thought you were going to keep it quiet from the tele napper!
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Here's a mockup of what the outside will look like. I want it to be a really clean look.
It's gonna have a Sitka Spruce Soundboard but I want to try and not have binding on it if I can get away with it.
Oh nice idea both DB and Rob!
DB, going for a TOM bridge or standard Tele?
I don't think a Tele style bridge would work in this case pest.
Thinking it might be the Bigsby....
