Well, after the great success of the last guitar I built (I had a long thread on MR, killed off by the bastards!) , I have started off on a new project, and this time I intend to tackle a neck build as well (shock horror!!!). Anyway, as before, I have thought carefully about not only spec, but also how I want it to look. The guitars that I like are somewhat idiosyncratic, so it is quite possibly not to other peoples taste, but I have arrived on something that I am totally happy with personally so that is all that matters really. So yeah, here is is:
Mahogany bolt on neck, clay type dots, ebony fretboard.
Mercilessly abusing the classic tele style by adding a trem (can't be without a trem!)
Sounds will be a bit weird, as I'm putting a concealed pup in the middle (hopefully from Theguitarweasel!) and having a 5 way switch and also an S1 for total mayhem. If it is a disaster then I can revert to classic tele wiring and it won't look any different!
Anyway, it's gonna take a while but is just about underway. I have an unrouted tele blank and a lump of wood for a neck. I'll probably tackle the neck first as I know I can do everything else.

Was it you that did the tele with Chinese/mandarin (cannot remember) writing? Because, although I had no idea what it meant, that was probably one of the coolest guitars I've ever seen!

Looks cool as...
One thing I like about the Tele shape is that it withstands any amount of fiddling with and still ends up looking ace. Can't say that for many guitar shapes.
