Will be finally getting around to assembling my 50s Tele (Monster Relic, mild relic, plus Mojo innards).

Will take copious amounts of photos.

Very excited

I'd love to do a guitar building course. I'm finally getting back to the point financially where I could to.

i keep showing people how to build, although its on an ad hoc basis normally following on from a drunken conversation at a BBQ.   I have shown about 7 local guys how to do it so far.  i did discuss the idea of doing it as weekly lessons

Start tomorrow.

They were cool with me assembling my own rather than their Strat and adjusted the price.

Why them ? Well they aren't many 100s miles away like Totnes or Bailey ....

TTony

Be interested in what you make of the course.  Have fun!

If you do decide to do it sometime, don't under-estimate the work involved in setting it up, and then in running it.

Mark & Carol put a huge amount of effort into their courses (which I've done, and they're great) - probably takes them the best part of a week to prepare, and then a week to recover afterwards, for a week-long course.

Going well, tele electrics installed, fret dressing next after lunch

FelineGuitars

12 fret guitars doing the courses

Sooo ......

From this pile of bits


To the finished article





94 other photos, will be building a photo journal from those.

To do - age the nut a bit, and also the controlplate which despite spending Saturday night in a vinegar bath is way too shiny.

Looks great!
