Tele Pinecaster - Garage Style

[swampash]

My first build. I sourced most parts from small talented garage home based builders. Neck from Michigan, body from North Carolina pickups from New Jersey control paid from Illinois. Only the tuners and bridge were none US and they were from Japan.My amp tech is from NY also works out of is home. Sounds amazing and looks good too.

Really nice looking guitar. Love the opaque finish. It would’ve been a shame to hide that beautiful grain.

 

[El Tele Lobo]

Very nice! Enjoy!

Looks great. Is that a one piece body? It’s gorgeous. Congratulations.

That’s beautiful. I love the clean look.

One piece Eastern White Pine weighs 4.6 its. Sounds so good with Cavaliers Pickups.

Ordered a single ply 5 hole black guard which I think will look great

I flipped the control plate for the volume swells. I'm not great at that yet but I will learn hopefully. Bill Kirchin style

looks great! did you drill the string through holes? to me that is the most difficult w/o a press.

Ferrules holes came pre-drill. Body is from Rosser Guitars in NC. Highly recommended.

I just ordered a body from Rosser. I am glad to see how your build turned out with it. I ordered a mahogany Tele double-cut in an H-H configuration.

Looks a bit like my pinecaster

Opaque: not able to be seen through; not transparent.

"the windows were opaque with steam"

I think you meant transparent.

I've used three of his bodies. All pine. Two Strats and a Jazzmaster. Great stuff.
