Congratulations on a nice job, Douglas Holt!
That Telly looks very, very nice! Gorgeous wood grain pattern on the body as well as the neck.
What P/Us do you have in it, and how much does it weigh?

Thanks guys, you don't know how much that means to me, to have yawl say such nice things.
To answer a few questions.
Warmoth total vintage birdseye maple boatshape neck
Fender cs nocaster bridge pup, the neck pup wouldn't work, completely open no resistance at all.
Kluson tuners, bone nut.
The rest is a collection of parts from all over. Fender vintage bridge with Stew-mac compensated saddles, stew-mac single ply pickguard, and dome knobs, The pots and switch came from Warmoth.
There's just a touch of Minwax jell Honey Maple on the body and about 3 cans of Deft.
Here's the Headstock, sorry about the picture it's a little dark.
