Since we have seen bodies being built out the wazoo … I thought I’d pickup where it gets interesting.

This is a copy, as close as I can get to Charlie Baty’s Tele…

The body is alder with a flame maple veneer, I’m attempting duplicating it from a few photographs, which makes it quite interesting..

First thing to do is to establish the landmarks I know are definitive. The “F” holes, and the neck pocket in this case..
