    Hi from newcastle

    Hi, I've just end registered.
    Just started my first build of an alder Tele kit.
    I've started with a 62' Tele headstock cut.
    The body is a Champagne glow metallic and I'm about to start the clear coats

    G'day Bruce - welcome along. Just as well as you're in Newcastle - we have a 'telenapper here in Perth who has "borrowed" a number of nice tele's from Dingobass. Newcastle should be safe though .

    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks

    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
