I'm building this for a friend of mine who's one of my endorsers. What started as a happy marriage between classic and modern took a turn to a lot more classic. I can't wait to try her out. :) Just 3 more weeks...

That thing is breathtakingly beautiful. Looking forward to the finished pics.

It's only been one, but I'm impatient lol. Any progress pics yet? I'm eager to see or even hear this one. Epic build.

I am hoping to fit in a Strat build before the end of the year... I've got a hipshot contour bridge and a set of DImarzio Area pickups laying around that could use a home...

I just went through this entire thread. I must've given out at least 50 "likes".....lol

GilmourD, looks good. What pickup did you decide to go with?

I'm back at it again - I'm determined to finish a freaking Floyd Tele since I have EVERYTHING other than a body...including the Warmoth Neck (below), OFR with 37mm Big Brass Block, either EMG JH Set or a Jazz/RTM TB Set and standard Tele Top Mount Control Plate...




Although I really liked the Tone Bomb Single Humbucker Tele Body I bought a while back...CNC precision, good wood and nice looking grain...I wanted twin humbuckers as I like that neck tone and eventually sold the Tone Bomb Single Humbucker Tele Body.

Recently I got in touch with Peter @ Tone Bomb and worked out an order for a One Piece Ash Dual Humbucker Tele Body with Strat Forearm Contour on front and Tummy Cut on back. Definitely recommend him/his products - easy to work with, quality woods and a fine product all around at a great price.

Just got pics of the finished product and a DHL Shipping Notice today (7.1 lbs packaged) so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow and this weekend I can start lemon oiling it prior to a Nitrocellulose Gloss Natural Finish. Couple of pics of the new/incoming body below...

Eh? Why are you lemon oiling the body before shooting it with nitro?
