Looks nice - the f-holes are well designed. Did you go by a specific pu positioning, like on a Jazz bass? And if so - is the B pu '60s or '70s spacing?

Guess this might be interesting as it's not exactly got common specs: 40" scale "Ahab" 4 strings. Standard tuning, standard strings gauge. Just taller than usual.

Standard gauges at standard tuning on 40” scale? That sounds like a huge amount of tension!

Yeah, strings are pretty stiff but the bass sounds great! It might be worth the extra-length for most peoples (with pretty long arms LOL)

A little pre-build-off skills development.

I’m not sure what tuners I was expecting but the double line Klusons surprised me in the back of headstock picture then I decided I like them. Can’t have too many Teles in the world.

The double lines are a nod to the original Prototypes klusons, although the original had the white buttons iirc.

im liking this one enough that i might have to build one for myself !

Here’s a little info on the original…

The Story behind the “Snakehead”- The True Fender Telecaster prototype!

Oh yeah. I was aware that’s how Leo did the prototypes. It more seeing the picture and going, “Hmmm” then “No, I like it.”

Yeah, i was lukewarm on it at first, but as i got further into building it, the snakehead style really started growing on me

the double line Klusons

It says "WILKINSON DELUXE" on each tuner. How are they Klusons?

I was obviously reading this on my phone and making more assumptions than usual. Sorry for any confusion.

More confusion: Initially, I read "mxcrmo" and wondered what that could mean.
