Looking really good. And I like your thinking. I've never really liked the look of telecasters but the Meteora is more to my tastes.
Makes me want to follow suit and build one too. Must resist though..... I already have too many unfinished builds.

There's a bit of an offset guitar build club starting up here. So much funkier than the tele IMHO, but the tele hardware is just too damn nice to pass up. Build the tele hardware into an offset shape and NOW were talking'.

What was the yellow stain you used on the neck?
Thanks mate
CascadiaGuitarGeek- I used Crimson Guitars Stunning Stains Shots Yellow. I mixed a few drops in some demineralised water. I also put a few drops in my first coat of clear to even it all out a bit.
Not much achieved so far this week. Still trying to decide on a pick guard colour before ordering the material
But i did put the screws in the neck

Okay guys I need some input.
Pickguard colour is doing my head in.
Current top 3 choices-
Black/white/black
Mint green/black/mint green
White pearloid
Black will match the block fret inlays.
Is there any other white you plan on anywhere on the build? To carry thru the colour, should you choose it.
Minty - would really have to see it against the current body finish. I can't visualise it yet, it might clash.

Rather than white pearloid, I'd probably go for a 'cream' or 'aged white'.
edit: definitely an inspiring creation and can see the fascination with this shape Tele.
I wouldn't have gone for block inlays, but it's each to their own.
cheers, Mark.
