    Welcome mate, a Tele is a great place to start! Never done one myself, but they gotta be easier than the one I started with (SG twin neck) :P
    For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...

    Hey farnzie, try the gun shop in Clayton, they sell tru oil in small 3oz bottles, one should be plenty for a guitar! If you need help, shoot a message over to me and I might see if I can help, I'm also based out in the SE

    Ben,
    I used Tung oil instead of tru oil.
    It's given it a nice colour and feel , so far.
    But I'm just starting into my first build like you.

    Hi Ben. A Tele is a great place to start. Welcome to your new addiction!

    Welcome to the forums farnzie. I'm just at the tail end of a TLA build so knowledge acquired its still quite fresh(ish) in my mind if you need to tap it!

    good stuff Ben, gives you time to plan the build.
    What colour are you going to stain the tele ?
    You going to build it with the stock parts ?
