Building a Page Dragon Telecaster

[the_best_of_fools]

Okay, the project is underway. I finally decided to build my Page Dragon Telecaster.

The body will come from KnE Guitars. They have this blank northern ash vintage style Telecaster body for a real good price ($153 shipped to Canada).

The neck will probably come from Musikraft. They make very nice necks. I was so impressed with the quality of my Frankie neck I've decided to get another one from them. I'm still not sure to which specs it'll be made yet. Still doing some research on the original neck on Page's guitar. I can't find a lot of info on the internet.

Pickups will most likely come from Guitar Fetish. Still not sure which ones I'll get. I don't want to spend a fortune on this guitar but I still want it to be a player.

The rest of the parts will be ordered from Guitar Parts Resource. I've dealt with them in the pass and they have good parts at good prices.

I haven't found any clear plastic sheets to make the pickguard. Anyone know where I can find such a thing? They have clear tele pickguards at Stew-Mac but I need to cut mine like the one on Page's guitar. It has an irregular shape (goes all the way down to the bottom of the bridge, between the bridge and control plate - see pic). The plastic has to be between 0.080" and 0.100" in thickness.



Pics to come soon...
