    Some sort of tele. Build #3

    I got a tele kit for my bday yesterday and couldn't help but get started on it straight away. Not really sure what colour it's going to be yet. Thinking maybe gloss black, black pickguard and cream p90 to go with the cream binding.

    Have contoured the body a bit, which includes a rather pronounced cutaway near the next to allow ease of access to the higher frets. Still need a bit of a touch up, but pretty happy with how it's looking so far.

    Here's my progress....

    Looking sweet as, Tim. I have been planning almost identical carves for my upcoming tele build.
