Thread: Tele number Two. The one I should have built in the first place.

    Cheers Andy. I've used DT before on the Spalted LP and it came up a treat, probably just the horrid weather for the last month that's causing me issues.

    So your Tele is Tru Oil over DT ?

    Together, needs a bit of relief adjusted into the neck, but will leave it for a few days to settle down before doing anymore adjustments.

    Think I'm happy with this one.

    nice job, looks great, well done! I play my PBG TL51 more than any other guitar i have, there's something about that design which is simply wonderful.

    Cheer folks.

    My original TL51, although aesthetically it may not be quite what I hoped for is probably tied in 1st place for most played. It may be relegated once this one is dialed in, we shall see.

    Spent some time getting things sorted last night, no buzzes. Only playing through headphones but at the moment really not happy with how it sounds, especially the treble side of things, G string is just horrid. A simple D chord, yuck. Had something similar before, on the other Tele funnily enough, turned out to be the nut

    Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually or ship it off for a set up, but that will be a last resort.

    Nut slot for the G not deep enough ?? and pulling it out of tune.

    For a simple nut file of the correct size you can give unwound strings a bash at a few angle with a hammer on a steel block ( vice ) to deform them a bit, wound strings will do the job on their own
