My Telecaster has always been my favourite electric, so I thought I'd make one.

Just finished this one. I started it as a way to break a bit of a mental block I had with my acoustic builds, and it worked. This one is a Thinline style.

Body, Neck, fretboard: New Guinea Rosewood.
Head plate, Drop Top, Cavity cover: Silky Oak(Grevillia robusta) With a blue dye.
Bindings: Blue Celluloid
Other stuff: Mostly Wilkinson.
Pick Ups: Tonerider Hot Classics.
Case: Left over from an old project......

Was fun to make. My first electric, and it sounds and plays pretty well....

Very nice, Nick!
Tele's are a joy to build. I'm working on my 3rd.
The case is wild.
Is the Rosewood heavy?

Thanks guys. I'm liking it.

Dan: It's not too heavy, I only chambered it because I wanted a thinline.

Clinch: I'm trying to make guitars with a bit of me, if you get what I mean? I love my 52RI Tele, but this one is a guitar I made, and I want people to know it when they see it....

Chris: The case has been getting more mention than the guitar. Thanks for your liking.... :P
