Wow G.G.- nice work. I thought the great leap forward was acquiring a soldering gun. You guys crack me up. I have fantasies about a drill press. I could probably be arrested for the way I dream of a router table. Fortunately, I am helpless, and those responsible are the Borg!

Hey G.G. Very nice build...

En de groeten uit Biddinghuizen.

Soon I'll be entering with my builds. Yes... it is true... I too am a Tele junkie.

That's one very cool guitar, I like it!

What did you use to pore fill that ash? And where did get it?

I used Levis Prefiller. I bought it at Kroonpart in Rotterdam Delfshaven, but i'm shure it's available at most specialized paintshops.

I stained the prefiller with a dark stain to bring out the grain in see-through finishes.

I'll show you some picks:

No filler:

Stained filler, whiped of and than lightly stained nitro:

Just buy a few airbrush colours and try it on some scrapwood. You can do a lot of nice thing with the right stains like this neck:

Very sweet. I'll look into that.

Thanx

Had some outputproblems, so I build a SHO and mounted in inside the guitar, between the humbucker and the 5way switch:

It works just fine. Here is a soundfile:

what pickups did you go with? looks like one of gfs's zebra humbuckers, but what about the bridge? and can you tell us a little about the SHO? is it a booster?
