Jimothey Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I'm planning a new build its going to be a kind of doublecut Nashville Tele-ish/Strat-ish 'Mongrel' type thing Its probably going to be Pine or Mahogany backed with a poplar pallet top with a mahogany neck and Poplar or Oak fretboard and Chrome hardware, it might have a pickguard I haven't decided yet? I'll post more pics when I get it started........ Edited March 23, 2022 by Jimothey Quote
Jimothey Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 Got the top cut out just need to tidy it up a bit and glue it together Here's a mockup but it will have a black hardware, a standard telecaster bridge and control plate, all the wiring and pickups are out of a old Squier strat that i stripped for parts...... 1 Quote

Jimothey Posted March 24, 2022 Author Posted March 24, 2022 Thanks I had to give up work in September last year due to back problems that have just been getting worse so I thought I could try and do this as a little business to bring in a bit of extra cash I'm trying to steer clear from doing clones of all the usual suspects as a 1000 and 1 other people are doing them and make them slightly different! I got good feedback from my mate, he pointed out a few little issues that need to be addressed once I've sorted them they will go to another mate who wants to try them at a live gig to see how they sit in the mix so hopefully I'll be able to make a go of it...... 1 Quote
