it's beginning to look a lot like a tele.

finally got around to finishing the perimeter on the alder tele body. this one is going to my amp tech. he has an old peavey t-whatever with 2 humbuckers that we'll pull apart and slap the parts on this. back in the day they did the john mayall chop on the that body so it's worthless now. as you can see i had a little "goof" on the top :332: which should disappear once i do the roundover. now all i have to do is get the neck and pickguard from him so i can route the pocket and cavities.

it's gonna take a mighty big radius to blend that snipe. you might start thinking about binding.

i'll just fill what doesn't come out, it's going to be a solid color anyways.

Or just stick a piece of alder in there and align the grain...
