I've enjoyed the Studio Rats video's of them making one of these guitars.
There is not a chance of me doing the build. Simply not my thing.
I am interested in getting one ready made.
Has anyone got one?
They are on special right now and the price seems to be very appealing.
https://boltguitars.co.uk/product/thunder-road-vintage-t-style/I'd ask them to put some BKP 52 Tele pups in it but save that......
I sold my Mexican tele and do rather miss it now I am getting back into playing again.
A good value for money guitar or not?
Not enough guitars, pedals, and cricket bats.

Its not really “making” though, most time went into the finishing followed by a bit of assembly.
Good quality components, the neck was a stunning piece of flamed maple, fretwork nicely finished.
If you want one made for you, then I’d say it’d be a few days (elapsed) of someone’s time that you’d need to pay for, which will add to the price quite considerably.

Plus, they're the experts with their finishing kit, so you should get a very good result.
Not sure if that is great value considering I would get the pups changed.

I will ask about a 'ready made' option with some pups sent to them.
I had a set of BKP pups in my old MexTele. Country Boy I think. Sounded like honey.
The idea of a flamed neck sounds very cool indeed

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
