Thinline Build

JJ · March 31st, 2008, 03:08 PM

Here is one I put together & it turned out killer. I am real proud of it & it has already seen some gigging & worked great every time. I got the idea from the Fender Custom Shop NoCaster Thinline. I ran across a Mary Kaye white one, but the price was way out of hand, so I opted to build one. Here are the specs.

Body: Guitar Mill T Hollow w/ Mary Kaye nitro
Neck: Old Chandler that I have had for years & love.
Pickups: Bridge - SD Broadcaster Neck - Dimarzio Twang King
Bridge: Fender stamped steel w/ compensated saddles
Jack: Electrosocket jack
Control Plate: CTS pots, CRL 3 way switch, cloth wiring, etc.
Tuners: Gotoh Kluson type
Pickguard: Single Ply 69' RI
Knobs: Glendale Heavy Knurled

This guitar is super light & has a unique tele voice.

Snazzy, JJ. The shizzle as the youngsters say. Now box it up and send it on over to me.
N_I_C_E! Tele, you did a good job.
