zyonsdream Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I started a new project yesterday, glued this up and got it shaped in just a few hours. It’s obviously a standard telecaster body with a bolt on neck. Wood: 3 piece white limba with bubinga stringers, mahogany neck and Bolivian rosewood fretboard. Neck specs: 24.75 Scale 12” radius with Jumbo frets and pearl position markers. 4 point bolt pattern with ferrules- no plate Body specs Rear belly cut Single humbucking bridge pickup- gunslinger style! (angled) Wrap around tail piece Limba Matching cover plate Not 100% sure on finish right now. Might go with an amber tinted clear coat. Should be pretty simple but elegant too. Nothing super flashy about it. The color is a bit washed out in the picture, it’s more of a golden color in person. I also designed a new headstock shape. I love my current 3x3 shape but I thought I needed something a little less radical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyonsdream Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 For some reason Fender never jumped on the stringer bandwagon (Guess it was mostly a BCR and Carvin thing) but I’ve always thought stringers looked good on Telecasters. I was actually debated using Padauk for stringers over Bubinga but I was afraid that the Padauk dust might get into the grain of the very light limba and never come out. However, I don’t see any of your guitars with bridge pickups in the gunslinger position! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to completely master one thing before jumping on to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
