Home made tenor tele

So I am getting a lot of youtube recommendations of Fenders new tenor guitars. And once I saw the price of them ,,,,,, Well I had to make one instead of going and getting one.

Body is fir with a redwood top, red oak neck maple fret board with turquoise stone chips and fine grinds set with super glue. All hardware is from Gitty except the mini buckers.

25 1/2" scale

Comment by Myron Joe Hickel on July 7, 2020 at 1:55pm: Thanks Ray, O99

The book marked redwood was a 2x6 I bought a couple of years ago for a wood stove install. I noticed the curly and saved it with no real purpose for saving it. Most of the curly was sanded off but I was able to save a little bit of it behind the hard tail, not much but noticeable if you cross your eyes and squinch your eyes. LOL.

Low e a d g from a 10 gauge set open g tuning.

Comment by Southern Ray on July 6, 2020 at 10:42pm: Sweet! Very nice work there, Myron.

Comment by Order99 on July 6, 2020 at 9:59am: WHOA.

Comment by Myron Joe Hickel on July 5, 2020 at 3:38am: Thanks Taffy, David,

I really enjoyed making this one.

Comment by David Bowes on July 4, 2020 at 10:36pm: Nice work!

Comment by Taffy Evans on July 4, 2020 at 9:42am: Hi, that guitar looks well crafted, I base my solid bodies on the Tele shape. I like the bookmatched top too.
