Hello from new builder.

[WoeterrH90]

Welcome! Great guitar and an amazing way to start your guitar journey!

A lot of the Americans on here won't know the significance of the word Yorkshire, so I will again repeat the Barry Cryer joke of 'never ask a man if he is from Yorkshire - because if he is, he will have already told you'

I lived in Leeds for 3 years 92-95 - welcome to the site. If you want to solve the mystery of everyone here talking about cargo shorts as an in joke, I am afraid to tell you that it has no deeper meaning than cargo shorts

You won't be around TDPRI very long before working out that we like pictures, lots of pictures! And lots of build details too.

My First Tele Build

So, apparently you like lots of photos of guitar builds. Well, here we go :) This is my first every build, its certainly not perfect, far from it, but its plays ok, and I'm super pleased with my first effort.

I put a load in there

Cool man!! Way to go jumpin' in with both feet like that! I've actually seen the reverse headstock before so, it's AOK in my book! No dots!?!?? Whoa... next level man. What I really want to know is - What's the cool old school arcade game you got there?

It's a scratch built MAME cabinet, which I'm not allowed to move into the house

Welcome to the addiction. Nothing like this place anywhere.

Hello @YorkshireSimon, welcome to the forum. I like your method of getting into guitar playing, by building both a guitar and amplifier. Keep us posted on the amp build.

 

[HoodieMcFoodie]

G'day and welcome

Great looking guitar! I dig the reverse headstock, and honestly I feel like they're more comfortable whilst playing The Tuning Song. Easier to reach under vs. over.

Welcome!

Welcome. I always wondered what effect the reverse headstock has on string tension/feel .I would go no string trees on that bad boy if I did one like that. I’ll have to try one someday

Welcome from Albuquerque New Mexico USA. Reverse headstock, no problem!

ooo you quirky monkey! Nothings quite right about that is it but somehow it works!

 

[KeithDavies 100]

Welcome, Simon. Would echo others comments about the reverse headstock - very cool, whether by mistake or not!

Respect for diving straight into builds!
