Latest Tele Project pics

Aaron just shot me over the latest pic of the Tele he's building for me. Neck carved and fitted (I think he said he still needs to finish the back contour shaping), F-Hole installed, peghead shaped, body routed.. pretty much the only thing left to do is finish the body and fret the neck (which he said he was working on currently).

That's a '59 in the neck and a Five-Two in the bridge.

All in all, it looks like it should be finished some time mid April / early May, depending on weather conditions (for finishing purposes).

Yea, I realize the pic is kind of grainy. I had to compress it down from about 182k to 18k. ;)
 
I've been waiting for this. Looks awesome.

Blueline you rock
 
That is gonna' be some sweet axe!

I really like the f-hole shape - much better than typical f-holes to my eyes. (Just make sure Rickenbacher's lawyers don't see it ;) )

Happy turkey Jellyfish day Fatty!
Wait, I mean... great axe!
No dual humbuckers?
What's the finish going to look like? Binding?
 
Kool touches there...yeah, the Rick hole is barely legal, hehe. That's gonna be a sweet kustom. Wait till the finish hits the wood!

The finish is called "Bordeaux Cherry"... kind of similar to wine red. (Translucent, obviously.. don't wanna cover up the maple cap) Natural binding on the top and the F-Hole.


I really gotta get my old avatar back :D
