I just finished it. The lacquer is fresh off the buffer!
It is argued that the tele is one of the most versatile guitars around. I wanted to make sure of that with this build.
The body is air dried walnut (so it retained all the rich colors) capped with Caribbean rosewood. The neck is roasted maple with RW fingerboard. I had USACustom make the neck. I made everything else.
The neck pickup is a Charlie Christian that is matched with vintage tele pickups in the middle and bridge. Pete at Vintage Vibe built and matched all three so they blend beautifully. Pete is a great guy to deal with BTW.
The bridge is a Fishman piezo to give me acoustic sounds. I mounted the Fishman preamp so I could control and blend the piezos with the electric.
Set it up with 7 way strat switching.
