You do not wanna know how long it took me to cobble this partscaster together...
But it's done, finally, so, yay! NGD!
Details:
- Warmoth rear-routed Telecaster body with elbow bevel, tummy cut, and routed for (3) pickups, in Padouk, with a light (and sloppy) finish of Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane (matte).
- Warmoth "modern construction" Telecaster neck in Padouk, Standard Thin Profile, 10-16" compound radius, stainless steel 6105 frets, ebony fingerboard, GraphTech Black TUSQ XL standard nut, headstock is finished with a light (and sloppy) finish of Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane (matte), back of neck is burnished (unfinished).
- Schaller roller bridge
- Schaller locking tuning machines
- (3) Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails pickups
- 5-way selector switch, and Master Volume and Tone
It almost feels more like a Strat than a Tele, what with the elbow bevel, tummy cut, and (3) pickups. But it's Tele-shaped, so I'm calling it a Telecaster. Definitely achieved everything I was hoping for: Sound, Comfort, and (especially) Looks.
