I've seen a few tele builds with bodies created using IKEA shelf wood; if you happen to have one, post a pic here!

I start off with mine...

1. Tryggvecaster (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/88241-ikeacaster-newbie-tele-copy-cheap.html)

The one that started me off building tele-style guitars. Three layers, chambered body. I didn't finish it correctly; using a brush and yacht lacquer...
Seymour Duncan STL1-b in bridge position, Teisco gold foil in the neck position.
Things to do yet:
- refinish
- install a 3 barrel bridge
- I'd like to have a more '50s look overall, so slotted screws and a 5 screw pickguard could be in order

2. Teiscocaster (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/92862-teiscocaster-ikeacaster-thinline-project.html)

Made using the hardware and neck of an old Teisco guitar, thinline body. Finished using dark stain and yacht lacquer.

3. Double Uncut (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home-depot/108555-ikeacaster-3-double-uncut-tele-build.html)

This one is still in the making. Trying to get the courage to start the finishing process.

Now let's see yours!

If you don't get crackin' on this thing, I may have to fly over to the Netherlands and lay the smack down.

Violin burst is the only sensible option!
