Telemaster build

This will sit til next week.

 

Here's an update.

 

Thanks!

 

Ok.

This is what I've done these past few days:

 

I just noticed that my fretboard ended up uneven at body end.
It's higher on the treble side.

I'll address this when I sand dots down.

I struggled a lot with the fretboard sanding. And still will.

 

Another update:

 

I got to finaly assemble the neck to body.



Checking for the alignment befor drilling the neck.



Done.



It's straight!

 

After I assembled the neck, I drilled the bridge holes







Not straight, but I still like it that way.

 

Looks alright to me.

 

I did attend B&H. I've finished my guitar there back in 2010. Since then I've only visited a few times.

Oh, yes. It's gonna be a Fender Sunburst.
I tend to like the brighter colors (blonde, butterscotch, natural, etc.). But all my guitars are bright colored!
So...

 

Yes it is. Do you know of any downsides to that, besides that it looks odd?
It's that thick because I recessed the truss rod into the fretboard and I wanted a thick neck.

The wood is Pau Marfin, a Brazilian native. I can't tell what it's similar to.
