My first Telecaster, a classic 50s, arrived today I'm very happy! It's really a fantastic guitar, very high value, I doubt you could get a better Tele for that money
It's a 2-piece alder body in Lake Placid Blue. The neck is from a strat classic player with the headstock sanded down and my logo added. Pickups are Dimarzio Area-T bridge and Air Classic in the neck. Push-pull series/parallel on the HB to get single coil sound but still remain hum-cancelling. Plays great, really nice action. Allparts Vintage bridge, Gotoh tuners. I cut the pickguard and bone nut myself.
And funny you should mention it, i'd like to start making for a living and would be on the lookout for any commissions, although the postage/tax might be a deal breaker
