glen smith August 3rd, 2012, 12:00 AM How was the neck shipped to you? Did you have to pay any extra charges such as Customs or Duty?
phoenixash August 3rd, 2012, 12:31 AM How was the neck shipped to you? Did you have to pay any extra charges such as Customs or Duty?
Wrapped nicely with a sturdy cardboard outer, and no duty for me I dunno I have bought quite a lot from overseas and have never been stung by customs lucky maybe?

phoenixash August 16th, 2012, 01:28 AM OK ladies and Gentlemen One newly created and finished Telemaster, been a busy boy today, lined up and drilled the neck heel holes always tricky with no drill press,But got it to line up nicely,did some string nut filing,intonation,string height as well as install the tuning heads, and it came up wonderfully , just need to break in that new guitar feel and she's a keeper.

Hoopermazing August 16th, 2012, 01:31 AM Damn it! Now I've got to buy another $350 neck to go on a $100 guitar. :mad:
phoenixash August 16th, 2012, 01:38 AM Damn it! Now I've got to buy another $350 neck to go on a $100 guitar. :mad:
hahah this neck only cost me $80 feels like a 300 dollar one.
62 Jazzmaster August 16th, 2012, 01:50 AM I keep thinking that I don't need another guitar, but every time I see a Telemaster, my eyes light up and I get another bad case of GAS.
Your beautiful pics aren't helping! :mrgreen:
Hoopermazing August 16th, 2012, 02:08 AM hahah this neck only cost me $80 feels like a 300 dollar one.
I don't want to spend $350. It's just that me likey the, 1" @ the nut, baseball bats... and I don't have the facilities to be spraying nitrocellulose lacquer all over the joint.

I'm sorry mate But Telemasters are just so sweet looking.
phoenixash August 16th, 2012, 08:54 PM I did a quick sound test looks are great but they have to sound great also, the bridge pup is very spanky should please even the most diehard Tele player and the neck pup just oozes tone.

glen smith August 16th, 2012, 09:02 PM Oh wow, that sounds incredible! All at a very reasonable cost. Can you identify the pickups used?
