First Tele Build Finished

I know you guys see a lot of these but here is my tele and first guitar build ever. Thanks to this site and a lot of great people that helped me out I have a killer sounding guitar. The tone is even better than I imagined. I've learned a lot and can't wait to get started on my next.

ReRanch has some interesting colors I'm going to try on my next two builds

Right on. Looks like you used good ingredients!

The finish is amazing. Thanks for sharing your success!

huge fan.

Good to see it all came together for you.

Very nice. Good grain pattern on your Tele body too.

I'm a big fan of those SD 54's.

Sure did. Thanks for all your help Mike!

Very cool. How are you finding the SD pickups?

I like the SD's A LOT. They sound great and are pretty quiet. I've been a fan of SD's for a long time. I have a Screaming Demon in an old guitar and two little 59'ers and a Custom Custom in a guitar I had built back in 98. All help deliver great tone.

The body looks awesome. The grain is great. Make me want to make another tele. I think I would use your pictures for a blueprint. :-)

Nice choice for the first one. Looks great too!

Looks great!! Nice finnish and grain......Be careful this building stuff is very addicting!!

Thanks for the compliments! Yes this building stuff is addicting. Already have the next two planned. My son wants one built but I'm going to design it for higher output/rock and put a third pickup in the middle position. I also have some killer flame maple veneer I'm going to put on it. I also want to do a relic-ed version in Seafoam Green with a little hotter pups. I have an old 1941 Johnson boat motor that is in Seafoam Green so it's kind of grown on me.

Great finish, well done.

A job well done. That finish is just screaming yellow! I love it.

Thanks! Actually the flash of the camera makes it a little more yellow than it really is but it is pretty yellow.

Nicely done.....................do it again.
