My future N.I.C.E Telecaster Thinline:the specs

[LordRiffenstein]

I'm having a guitar build by our esteemed forumite of the Guitardiner-forum Alex Radovanovic and it is going to be a thinline telecaster build to my specs. So far Alex and I have discussed on an almost daily base the specs of the guitar and I have to say that it is a dream come thru for me. Alex is real easy to work with, patient and knows his stuff. I had numerous questions and ideas and we sorted them all out. Some might have seen the picture I posted with the pieces of wood I had to choose from and I think that the wood quality says a lot about how pro Alex is. Building the guitar will take some time but I know the wait will be worth it. Here are the specs of the guitar:

Body: 1-piece top (ashtop #1) and 1-piece back Swamp Ash, F-hole. Here's a picture of a thinline morphed with the piece of wood I'm going with (#1 in the previous thread!)

Body Finish: dark blue transp. with natural wood binding
Neck: maple neck, maple fingerboard, 2-way-trussrod
Neck Finish: clear lacquer
Fingerboard radius: 9.5" Radius (241 mm)
Fret size: medium-jumbo
Trussrod adjustment at headstock
Kluson tuners
String tree, Fender style, bent metal
Inlay material: dark abalone
Scale length: 25.5"
Nut width 1-11/16" (43 mm)
Neck thickness: build to my specs, same as my current #1 Telecaster
Neck shape: slight C shape
Bridge: Gotoh 6-saddle bridge
Pickups: Kersting, custom wound
Electronics: 1 4-way-switch, 1 Volume, 1 Tone, output jack

To make this a total Forum-involved guitar, it will have 2 custom wound pickups by Steve Kersting (also member of the Guitardiner-forum) installed but that needs to be discussed later on.

For those interested, I will post updates about the guitar during the build process!!
