Members metalhead666666 Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 new guitar refinished day I put together a telecaster last week but the finish was crappy, the electronics were messed up, and I needed to make a nut. I planned on getting it refinished later on but I brought it to school and got like 20 scratches in it while taking good care of it so when I got home I started sanding it. My dad brought it to work for the finisher there could finish it. It came out very good there is 5 coats of lacquer on the top and 4 on the back and it only took 3 days to get it back. I'll only have to pay about $20 for the time spent on it. I also had him round it over 1/4" instead of 1/8" much more comfortable I wonder why all teles aren't like that. I also ordered 2 25k pots from stewmac when ordering strat pots because the old ones were scratchy, I used a 0.022 Sprague Orange Drop Tone Caps from guitarfetish instead of the .047 and I like it better because now everything I play doesn't have a tele twang to it which is really only useful for country but I can still get it. I made a new nut out of corian also. Now I just have to wait until I get some fender tuners from TomCray to upgrade the crappy squier ones with (but they will be going to my strat build no need for good tuners with a locking nut) Here's some much better pics than the camera phone pics also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members homestar_kevin Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 that wood looks awesome. Get a pickguard though, just test fit one on there, I think it would make it all work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said warmoth makes the bodies and necks those should come out nice. The emgs are the t-set and there not like for metal or anything like that. I don't think I'll get a pickguard for it though the wood looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atrox Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 No pickguard. Looks terrific as is. EMG T, S and SA sets are awesome. I have an SA set in one of Strats. Can't say I even remotely like their buckers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
