    Some non kit builds

    Thought I'd share some non kit builds I'm working on pine body tele
    doing this one for my 5 year old son for his first guitar
    leopard wood with a wenge strip on top and a 40 year seasoned mahogany back for this guy

    Hey Jbird, careful with the display of these very tasty looking tele's......if you search the forum for 'telenapper' you'll realise why. Better beef up your security.

    Just the top is a tele... the middle is based off of an old Decca I have and the bottom is also the same Decca be I'm thinking about doing it in a tele type style with some body mods
