Tele style build.

[gooberman]

Here are a few pics of a Thinline type Tele that I did for another forums contest. This is my second build (first actually completed with wiring!) and I think it turned out pretty good. It is all maple body, with flamed maple cap and faux binding. Maple neck and a Paduk fretboard. It has two P90's that I picked up off the bay for under $20 total. The tuners are cheap, but they work! The sunburst was done with water based analine dyes and it was hand rubbed. I then finished it with Truoil, neck and body. Hope you like it.

Very nice! I see the tiger stripe maple even shows through the binding.

Very nice. You may call yourself proud owner but also proud maker!

Thanks for the nice comments.

Thank you...I am quite proud of both!

Nice job! It's a great feeling to complete all that detail work, string it up and play it for the first time. I try to build one a year, incorporating some new idea that I want to try out...

This is my second build, but the first with the electronics done...so when I become a famous builder, it will be a trick question! But let me tell you, as soon as I plugged her in and I strummed my first power chord....I was grinning ear to ear

I would like to do a few a year if I could as well. My first was pretty much your standard solid body, my second was hollowed out...I want to do a top carve on my next build, I figure a Mosrite clone would be a good place to start. Plus they look really cool!
