A few glamour shots of my newly finished pine caster

This is my first scratch built Tele style guitar. It's my second scratch built 6 string. I did these with my Nikon DSLR so I hope they're ok.

Here are the specs:

- Poplar neck with red oak fretboard, finished in Tru Oil
- GFS Lil Puncher Modern Vintage dual rail pups
- Les Paul selector switch
- Pine 2X4 and Lowes round pine table top
- All black hardware (excepting the white selector switch tip)
- RIT transparent scarlet dye, finished with shellac, then lacquer
- Aluminum nut
Pretty standard otherwise.

The neck is very chunky, but the action is superb. It plays and sounds fantastic.

really nice build, but why place your thread in the 2012 build challenge winners section?
