We need a Northampton jam gear and logistics thread potentially, check we have ticked all the boxes.
I built @Alnico 's Tele.
Tip one - drop @GSPBASSES a line and ask him if you can have a build slot.
That would be an unfinished neck and body. Now, you could send off to one of the talented finishers or have a go yourself. A tru oil or wudtone finish is pretty straight forward.
Tip two - ask on here if anyone has any spare bits. I've got quite a few spare tele bits in my box - they are cheap to come by and can do a good job
Tip three - start a build thread to define specs and get ideas for your build
Tip four - get some tools. You don't need much, but decent tools help a lot. Can you solder? If not, it's def worth learning.
We will all help you through it...!

Japanese, tele neck
Thomann and others were selling the last of the first run off at Chinese prices (I paid £355 new), so you will see a lot at good prices used
The neck pickup was lovely, but I didn't like the bridge one, and fitted a 3 way LP style switch instead of the blend
stunning to play, up there with USA standards of course, they were supposed to be £800 or £900
My Tele is amazing, better (for me) than a Squier.
I'll bring it to the Jam for people to hear and try.
