project guitar 3 of 3 done...(with pics)

[XSSIVE]

ok as a follow up to my last thread here's my third project...the body and bridge pickup came in today and i got it together...

right now it has a temporary MIM tele neck but a MIA maple one will be going on in the future...

i'm on a serious tele kick now and have been selling most of my strats and buying/building teles to replace them with and i'm much happier with the teles!!

you would think with 3 new projects done my GAS would have been taken care of but i'm not so sure about that hahahaha :laugh2:

thanks!!

yeah the plan for this was to be my backup to the twistedcaster since that's my main guitar...so it has similar features but i went with an sm2 custom mini hum in the neck instead of the sm1 vintage...i think i like the vintage a bit better but the custom does shine it it's own ways.

I've been a strat lover for years but just discovered how great tele guitars can be! That extra tone a string thru bridge adds is amazing! I love the Duncan Mini humbuckers, as well as the Gibson mini's. I have a set of Duncan Minis that i need to use oneday. I took the Duncan Minis that i had in a Les paul Deluxe out and put real Gibsons back in when Gibson Reissued them in 1999. I like both the Duncan and the Gibson the same, it was just the Gibson had the right look. These teles you have built look like they have a hell of a lot to offer! The mini humbucker is the greatest neck pickup ever to me!!!! In all seriousness i was going to built a tele or a hard tail start in the same lay out with a mini in the neck!

Great work

That's killer man, you've got a very cool collection I must say.

After I finish the project that's currently in the works, I want to eventually build either a tele or an LP-style axe with mini-hums or P90s.

Looks quite good although I liked the Twistedcaster more...
I'd put a rosewood neck on it if you're not completely into maple only...
