Recommended Posts

The thinline tele is coming along so I thought I'd put up some pix for your entertainment....

It's only roughly shaped so dont judge the outline or finish yet....you can do that in a couple of weeks when she's ready to go. The lacewood dark flames come up real nice and dark when finished which looks stunning and very different.

Australian Lacewood top and headstock cover
Ash body
Lacewood/purpleheart through neck
Birdseye Maple Fingerboard (34" Fretted)
Ebony details
Nordstrand NV4SV pickups
Aguilar OBP-2 Preamp
Gotoh Bridge

Thanks all - I've been so busy with work.... not enough time to get much done lately.... Necks all done, It does look good now, it was still very rough when pix were taken. Bit of sanding here and there then spray. Should be done just after easter hols.

Update -
Thankfully I'm not working weekends anymore so got a bit more done on the telecaster bass. Nearly ready for spraying. Scratchplate isnt finished hence the wobbely lines

Thanks to the extra day's holiday I got it pretty much completed

Any custom build undertaken for sensible money

Hope you like it.....
