nice!.I just finished working on a tele copy that I bought for 20 bucks...it was fun project...was missing a few parts...but got it done...just working on getting intonation down
Thanks, my friend. And I want to be clear, I set out to make a "tele" clone, just to prove that a CBG hacker like me with a Home Depot or Lowes in the area, and a basic internet connection, can make a playable "standard" instrument. The real innovation is taking place with people here, who don't worry about what is hanging on the wall in the Fender/Gibson music shop.
This was my attempt at making a "Fender" with retail-store wood, hand tools, and a Christmas-present book on guitar building. Is it a perfect "corporate" guitar? Nah, there are mistakes everywhere. When I plug it into an amp, can I play blues, and slide, and have a good time? Yep. And so... keep building, my friends.
