scotmus Posted Sunday at 19:05 Posted Sunday at 19:05 Hi. I'm thinking about getting a telecaster made for me aka Nacho etc. I've been looking for someone in the UK but the choices seem pretty slim. Can anyone recommend a UK maker? Quote
Kiwi Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Pretty much every UK luthier can make a tele. They are the simplest popular guitar to construct. Most of the sound comes from the pickups so body woods can be anything from pine to ash. Just choose one closest to you, pre-purchase the neck and pickups and get him to make a body to suit. 1 Quote
ezbass Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago As Kiwi says, if you’re going for a trad, bolt on Tele, any tech can put one together for you, in fact, you could do it yourself if you have any DIY skills and just have final set up done by a tech (fret levelling, etc), this is pretty much what I did with my Tele: Squier neck & tuners; bound body from a UK supplier; DiMarzio pickups with the voicing I was looking for (DiMarzio were brilliant with their recommendations); Hipshot bridge; various other spares I had laying around. Everyone who plays it is blown away by the playability and tone (I was very lucky with the Classic Vibe neck). Quote
