First build - learning curve Tele!

  Got her finished this morning, just need to do a set up.

  
  

  Soldering was a bit of a challenge, more due to unsteady hands and poor eyesight than anything else!

  
  

  I used a couple of blobs of blu tac to hold the neck pup in position then carefully lifted the guard and drilled mounting holes.

  
  

  I am quite pleased with the results for a first attempt, just gotta learn to play the bloody thing better.
