NGD: left handed ‘72 Telecaster Deluxe build

Revolutions

The guitar I thought I’d never own 

Allparts neck, Guitarbuild body & guard. Nitro finish by Ozzy Lister. 1meg r/h CTS pots with reissue wr humbuckers. It’s light, it plays well & sounds exactly how I’d hoped it would.

That looks fantastic. Happy new guitar day.

Thanks. I wish I could say it was a labour of love- was a super stressful build with loads of unexpected issues around the neck. But well worth it now it’s finished.

It looks great, the big headstock really suits. Enjoy!

Great to see a different looking lefty.

Nice! Did you have to apply the headstock decal yourself?

I ask because I want to change the neck on my MIM Standard Tele but don’t want to lose the Fender logo, so it’s interesting to see if and how others are doing it

@Fiddlesticks_ yes, not particularly difficult- there’s lots of YouTube tutorials on how to do it if the neck is already finished, like this one was.

Looks great.

3 bolt or 4 bolt neck?

It’s 4 bolt. Body comes like that as standard so didn’t seem worth paying extra for authenticity when it’s far from an exact replica.
