Wow, some impressive stuff here! I'm almost ashamed to post my budget build amongst these beauties, but here it is anyway :D

Mahogany body scored cheap off eBay, Tru-Oil finish, All-Parts FAT neck, TUSQ nut, old DiMarzio PAF (not the virtual series) in the neck spot, GFS P90 in the bridge, set of pots from a Gibson SG Jr rebuild, Sprague .033 tone cap, GFS wrap bridge and pickguard.

Which guitar ya talking about !?!?! Mine was done with just normal Fender screws, but i recessed the whole for the NUT rings, so they sat flush with the body !

I guess this would be a Gib-Tele, instead of a Tele-Paul.
