Tele 1 complete...
Yes finally wearing her new neck with pride! Not perfect but perfection is overrated Plays like "I can't believe its not buttah" Excuse the phone shots, my camera battery needs charging!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Doesn't sound much different to my rather crap ears As the neck is as thick as a log, there should be more sustain and toan though ehReg18 wrote:Very nice, does it sound much different than a standard Tele with the neck?
It definitely has the snarly bite, but with a rosewood body and a bigsby it probably doesn't stand much chance of being full on tele

Re: Tele 1 complete...
what glue to sawdust ratio do you use for filling in? I need to fill a couple of big gaps on my current build and am wanting to do a stain finish so need to have enough dust to be able to sand it to look natural

I don't make gaps mate.....willow13 wrote:what glue to sawdust ratio do you use for filling in? I need to fill a couple of big gaps on my current build and am wanting to do a stain finish so need to have enough dust to be able to sand it to look natural
Only way is to try it out on scrap. It worked on this one in places and not in others. Lack of patience and a router biting in didn't help.
Back to the rosewood neck tomorrow if I'm feeling better!

Re: Tele 1 complete...
Oh and the specs if anyone wants :
Body is rosewood or a rosewood derivative. Neck is maple and its compound radiused - not sure what I radiused it too now haha. Pickups I got from Toany, the name eludes me but they are awesome! Sperzal tuners thanks to the bender. Nut is bone, and yes its messy - proper nut files arriving in a week or so I hope. Frets from stewmac just medium ones. Trussrod is one of stewmacs low profile two ways - easy to fit. never adjusted it yet. Bigsby is a real one. Wiring is a pro kit from our very good forum friend mr tonelounge
