New here. Check out my first build!
Hey guys. I've started building guitars a few months ago and my first one is nearing completion. This forum has been a big help for me via google and I decided I should join. Even if I am a metal guy
My first build is sort of a tele. I'm thinking you guys are either going to love it or hate it. It's a 27" scale 7 string. I was going for an edgy tele style body. Kind of like if a Blackmachine had a child with a tele
Here's a couple pics of my build!













I'm almost done it. Basically all I need to do is route the pickups and electronics cavity and put her together. I tried making 7 string pickup templates myself and failed miserably. I have another thing to try though. Just need to find the time!

I write some music that none of you probably like as well You can listen to that here if you so wish!

Anyways, good to be aboard. Let me know what you think!

So its not exactly a tele it looks like a killer build and very much in the spirit of a tele, a simple tool that you don't have to baby while trying to get the job done. Welcome.
