Jimothey Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 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 👍🏻 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) 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 3 hours ago, Si600 said: Not yellow this time? Well its kinda yellow-ish if it doesn't go butterscotch then it will be white 2 hours ago, SpondonBassed said: Give it a minute or two. Remember who you're asking. Heeheehee.

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 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 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? 👍🏻 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a bit niche though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 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!..... 👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
