ANOTHER TELE

GSPBASSES

        Another Tele finished, the wood on this one is a little bit different to the norm as its Spruce. This is a fully chambered body with a fiddle back Sycamore cap with white binding round the top of the body, the weight is 3 lb. The body is routed for two P90's The neck is Bridseye Maple with a Bridseye Maple fingerboard. Green Abalone dots on the face and side of the fingerboard, the frets are JD 6155.

PS I hope the fret ends up to the standard for a “SOFT SOUTHERN POOFS” guitar maker.

Stunning.

Wow that's one damn fine looking tele. The neck is awesome, very pretty indeed!

Love those p-basses too. But I already have one of those

That neck looks a bit tasty.

I always wonder why people use the traditional 4-screw  / block-heel fixing for a Tele - apart from because it's traditional of course!  Would a cutaway set-neck really change the sound that much?

GSPBASSES

      I don’t think it makes any difference to the sound but as you say its tradition. But I do make them with a cut away on the under side of the heel, or a set neck with a full cut away.

                       

     A Tele thats thinks its a L/P Junior

^^ The second pic (which I think I've seen you post before somewhere!) is exactly what I was thinking of.  Must be so much more comfortable to play.

My Ltd (I know, not comparable quality wise) has a carved heel and it's fabulous.

I like the cut away bolt on tele, too.

I like this one a lot!

What's it made of?

EdGrip

Wow. Just beautiful. I'd love to see how that top looks when it's finished! And how those woods sound...

Sigh. I wish I'd known about you before I bought my necks. :P

GSPBASSES

Both the Tele bodies are mahogany.

What does Spruce with a Sycamore cap sound like with a maple neck?

WezV

I would imagine quite lively, a little bit bright but quite rich

I wanted it after listening to early Jonny Lang stuff. I'll post clips when it's finished.

Huzzah! I'm glad the owner's a member here! I can't wait to see this thing.

i love that tele jnr....very cool...

 

here's an idea, that probably only i think would look good...Tele Jnr, with body and neck binding and LP Jnr style pickguard and tear drop silverburst...
