Tele build started

Recommended Posts

Posted

I've started gluing up the body for a 2 humbucker Tele today

 

The top is going to be a fake barrel top style of a local distillery called Penderyn Distillery which their barrels are white topped with the branding stenciled on so I've decided to do the same.... 

 

The back is Pine which is going to be stained dark-ish brown so it will have a nice contrast?.......👍🏻

I tried doing the fake branding but TBH it looked cheap and tacky and all together rather S**t so I decided against it and went for this fimish instead,

I'm just wiring this up now and doing the setup but I need to think of a name for it? I don't want to just call it a telecaster so I was thinking maybe 'burncaster' or similar? 

 

Any ideas gratefully received...... 👍🏻

Its all finished apart from the headstock logo as I still can't decide what to call it..... 🤔
