@nsj Ohhh, it’s a hardtail. Nice, I love it, especially the fretboard. Will you slow down making guitars, you’re making the rest of us look bad. 😆

@boo looks great!!!

Getting it together now. I just need to find a few more bits to put on it, such as another string tree and strap buttons. Oh, I may want to fire up the soldering iron too so I can wire in the pickups....

@tv101 savor every moment

Awesome! I wish I can at least come over for a visit someday.

Oh I am very envious, that looks like damn good fun and I’m sure everyone enjoyed (are enjoying) time in the workshop. I’m a lot nearer to you now, @markbailey and Carol, a visit is way overdue. There...

@boo strings that are not played, but instead, resonate by playing the other strings, sympathetic resonance. They provide that shimmery tone in the background. In a tele or strat you might experience...

@brie thanks Brian. I've found the whole process so much fun albeit with a step learning curve! It's not perfect, but what I learnt from making the mistakes and how to rectify them is invaluable. Do i...

Nice one Dan, well done!!👍😃🎸 You’re inspiring me to get the lead out and get on with my build, just started on the body, control and pickup cavities routed, no going back now!!...

@swepri thanks! It's been an excellent learning opportunity too. Onwards to the next build!

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice guitar! 👍 It is a special feeling when a new guitar is finished, adjusted and plays well.

I don't know what the average weight of a Tele body is but there is quite a bit of difference between these two. The one made of kitchen worktop and pallet boards is a lot heavier then the the plywoo...

@koendb 😆😆😆😆 I’m going to weigh it now. In fact, I’ll weigh both of these bodies. I don’t know what weight an average Tele is, do you?
