Telecision bass build

[Jimothey]

I've started another build which is a tele/precision hybrid

I've seen lots of precision bodies with a modified telecaster pickguard but I haven't seen any the other way round so I thought I'd give it a go 

I've used some recycled pine I had kicking about for the body, Its going to have a maple/maple neck, Tele style headstock and I'm going to finish it in a solid Butterscotch/Blonde White-ish colour not sure about hardware colour yet as both I think suit the colour really well 👍🏻

Give it a minute or two.  Remember who you're asking.  Heeheehee.

Good to see you back on it Jim!

Subtle n simple... Nice

Initial familiarity of the pickup and pickguard to the eye... Then the 'Tele' difference to the body. Bit like when reverse headstocks started making an apperance. You going reversed Tele-stock?

I'm considering a reverse headstock just trying to find a cheap enough lefty neck

Well its kinda yellow-ish if it doesn't go butterscotch then it will be white

I'm really struggling to find the right butterscotch colour thats not nitro so i think its going to end up being white instead

If I was making the body out of a nice bit of Ash etc then that would be an option but its made out of a old scaffold board so I've had to do a lot of filling so its going to have to be a solid colour and I've got some satin White at work 👍🏻

[Jimothey]

I decided in the end to paint the body an Olympic White-ish colour I think its come out ok?

I'm think black hardware will look good? 👍🏻

It's not yellow but give it time...

Looks good so far.

I must be getting a bit more reserved in my old age or it could be that the bold colour schemes I did looked a badgers derrière so time to tone it down a bit 😁

But remember, to a horny badger, that can look hot!

Perhaps a bit niche though.

I found an old neck that I've used on this build and decided to go for a matching headstock 

Just got to wait for the headstock to dry then I can refit the tuners, now just waiting for the wiring harness and strap buttons to turn up!..... 👍🏻
