New Project - Musikraft Tele

[treyhaislip]

Just got these in, the beginnings of a Musikraft Tele project. Yes, it has a Strat headstock–it also has a Strat heel. I don't care for the Telecaster headstock AND I've never really jived with a Tele (always go back to the Strat) so worst case scenario I have a Strat neck that I can use well for a Strat! The body will have the Strat forearm curve and tummy cut...so its a Stratish Tele anyways. lol

For pickups I went with a boutique guy up in Minnesota, Revel Pickups. They are basically a Broadcaster set with UOA5 and Degaussed A5 magnets–looking forward to hearing how they sound!

Neck Specs: Dark Roasted 1 piece Quartersawn Maple, Straight 9.5" Radius, 1 11-16" Nut Width, Medium Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets and aged clay inlays and side dots.

Thanks!

Not 100% sure on the wood yet...want to try Roasted Ash BUT my cousin is getting married with a destination wedding this summer so funds kinda need to be reserved for that lol Have thought about Alder as well...but its definitely going to be either Ash or Alder.

The body color will be some form of white nitro–offwhite/antique white/Mary Kay white.
