new project: Here's the body

[dg27]

The last bass listed on my signature is a Warmoth Custom Tele that's been in the making for a long time. It'll have two Custom Shop SCPB pickups.

Just got the attached picture from the finisher. It's a nitro black finish.



Now it's on it's way to New York for the actual build.

Re: new project: Here's the body

Thanks, threechordscharlie. This has been a long time in the making. Maricela from the Custom Shops made the pickups years ago and they sat becasue I never had the funds for the rest of the build. Then I corresponded with Derek Duncan and he reverse wound one of them this past summer so that I can use a DPDT pot for series-parallel switching, which I have on my Squier Jazz and love. Tony Dudzik http://www.pickguardian.com, who has made three other pickguards for me, made a guard based on the Tele Thinline guard. The bass is sort modeled on the guitar Mick Jones is playing below.



I am also a big Keef fan (obviously a big Tele player) and the body will arrive at my tech's shop on his 70th birthday.



The bass with have Gotoh GB7s, a Gotoh 201 bridge, and a Warmoth AAA Birdseye maple neck.

Hopefully will have it for Christmas.

All of my electric six strings are Telecasters. I'm a fan!

The only instrument I ever sold was a cream colored Tele 6-sting that had some sort of weird, tiny 3-way switch (have never seen another one like it). Have regretted it ever since.

Wow... Youd make a helluva salesman....none of the ingredients seem much up my alley (diff tastes, not quality issues), yet here I am finding myself WANTING IT

I'll take that as a compliment!

This has been in the works for far too long. Now I'm hoping to get it by Christmas...
