As the Old Road Hog would say...

Mighty fine!

Mighty fine!
Mighty fine...might purty!! Ole Wichitaw don't say much. He purty much gets down to buzness on the neck of a gitar.

Nope. All solid.

Oddly enough, that square "shoebox" of a body fits everything about a Telecaster (especially the no-frills functionality)... I sort of like it. Don't save that neck for a "real" project - that MDF Tele is really cool in my book, it already is a real project!!
Really? I'm loving the neck. I can't see myself keeping this silly thing together.

A minimalist square tele. Reminds me of the bo-caster.
Thanks. What is the bo-caster?

Yes. Should we start calling Utah the "Cutaway State"??
