New (self build) Guitar day!

axisus

New Guitar Day! So I finally finished my first guitar build - black aged tele with Bigsby. It was great fun and despite mistakes, it was overall a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have basically created a guitar that I enjoy so much that I pretty much haven't played any others for about a month. 

Many thanks to Mark Bailey and his online guitar build course, which was more than invaluable!

Build thread is here:

Nice work!  Now I'm looking at my Squier Tele and shaking my head......

BigMonka

An amazing DIY build. The finished article is so close to the original photoshop mock up you posted in the other thread too!

Great stuff! Enjoyed the build thread, don't think it's something I'll ever attempt. Can you say more about the pickup combinations? Intrigued by the hidden one.

Real nice, you have to get a chrome p90 cover now!

Well played, fellow relicer.

Fantastic work and hugely impressive especially for a first attempt.

Really like your finishing too.

This looks brilliant apart from the cream P90 which makes my brain itch. Black would be better

But seriously, excellent work!

Amazing job - your thread made it look so easy. Hhhhm, think I'll build a guitar from scratch - here it is!

Man, I'd make a couple of wee cosmetic differences for my own tastes, but as far as fit and finish go...Fantastic job! Very tidy looking Tele you have there, I salute you.
