edited February 2018 in Making & Modding
I thought I would do a build thread as it's my first partscaster project! The aim is to build a Keef style tele but with some modern touches (and all six strings!). 

The basic BOM is as follows:

  • Neck pickup - Iron Gear Blues Engine
  • Bridge pickup - Oil City Forty Niner
  • Bridge - Gotoh with compensated saddles*
  • Machineheads - Aged Faber Vintage 
  • Wiring loom - Oil City custom loom*
  • Misc hardware - various
* - TBC

The body and neck are coming from Scott @lonestar and he has kindly sent some progress pics through along the way. 

The neck is a lovely looking maple number with a C profile, 9.5" radius, jumbo frets, rolled edges and looks awesome:





With some tintage:



The body is a 4lb 2oz, three piece swamp ash beast and looks like so after some butterscotch goodness:



I really like the grain on this! Some mock up pics below start to give you an idea about how it's going to look:







Stay tuned and I will update as and when, cheers!
