Well its coming along, the weather is playing nice, able to get a couple of coats of tru oil a day on, so far it has been 4 then a buff, 6, buff and the 8th is drying now.
Want to get it finished before I head back to work on the 8th, so maybe rest of today and tomorrow oiling and that will do it.

Done with the tru-oil, probably a couple less coats than originally intended, but getting to the bottom of the bottle and its full of crystals, its been open a year so not sure of its shelf life.
Coppered the routes, now time to try and be patient and leave it alone for a while to let it fully cure before the final finish on the finish.
Pleased that you can't really notice the filling round the neck pocket too much

So fitted ferrules, bridge, pickups and all soldering, just got the nut to replace before stringing it up and giving it a final polish.
And yes I know the control plate is on in a reverse orientation when compared to a standard tele, this isn't a standard tele, its my tele

This is not an uncommon T style customisation, as you can move the volume control closer to the picking hand. Fender has even had artist models with it oriented this way.Originally Posted by Rossc0;156919

The control plate looks fine. A standard Nashville adjustment. If you'd fitted a scratchplate, you wouldn't notice it at all.
