    Where do you guys find the time to be great musicians, songwriters and carpenters??? As advanced as you guys are on your musical instruments & vocals it seems like to have come that far it would've consumed every waking hour...and now I see you're also great with woodwork and electronics...??? I'm impressed!

    Way cool. Love the finish. It really brought out the grain in the wood. All of the chrome gives an industrial look to it, like it was a machine, which isn’t too far from the intended use.

    Beautiful job! I have a stetsbar tremolo on a Firebird (kinda industrial looking but it STAYS IN TUNE) My only suggestion for future tele builds would be to countersink the control plate. It looks great when the plate is flush with the body.

      Ian Curtis You were the second person that mentioned that. And I agree. I think I need to plan ahead a little better on the next build. It seems like once it comes off the CNC machine it’s hard to center it back up.Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment.

    Dutch Elm Disease by the Beetles
    (Lenin/Mc Artney)
    I once had a burl
    Or should I say
    It eluded me
    But then, down came a tree
    By more than a breeze
    Dutch Elm Disease
    I went to the workshop to ponder and had an idea
    Ran out in the yard to find beetles devouring that tree
    Oh wow wow woweee
    I took it inside
    made it some tea
    (that confused Betty Lee)
    I chopped up the wood
    sawed, planed and squeezed
    Isn't it good
    Dutch Elm Disease
    Betty Lee knitted mittens while I carefully crafted a top
    To adorn that ol' Tele with chambers and 'buckers and pots
    That turned out quite nice
    Betty said, between fries
    Who'd a thunk, jeeze

    This is a gorgeous and well made guitar! That said, the only change I would suggest would be to do two individual channels through the main body instead of the individual chambers, and then you can do F-holes (another great Jersey insult) and make it a semi-hollow body Tele. Just my two cents though...
