A ~preview~ of my Tele build :D

Here's a good mock up of what I want from my CNC Tele build. (I *should* have footage by the end of this week)

EDIT: Forgot the control plate *facepalm* Standard Control plate.

I've already been curious about the reverse headstock.

I play variants of light top heavy bottom string sets and the reverse headstock should make everything feel more evenly wrt string tension.

It is good mock up. Thanks for sharing this.

Esquire?

Looks kinda cool with no control plate or knobs. Make like Dominus...

Wow killer idea! I vote for a non-standard control plate as well. The reverse headstock gives it a real awesome punk flair. If you go with Les Paul style knobs on that thing, it would really fit that look better IMO than the vintage tele control plate.

I think it'd look cool with a CBS strat reverse headstock.

Great call, dude. That would look awesome.

+1 to both of these ideas. That'd make it killer.

I realize that it's not what you're going for, but it'd be super cool to have a neck pickup there and have the 2V2T control setup of a LP on there.

Re: A ~preview~ of my Tele build

I would change the knobs/knob layout, but the CNC router is already programmed to accept a standard control plate. BUT, I'm getting 3 bodies out of this, maybe I could re-rout one for that setup...
