Members butterknucket Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is that a Warmoth body and neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceFlunky Posted January 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 No he cut and shaped everything him self. The pickguard is from Warmoth but thats about it. Stew Mac and GFS for the rest. Its an stained and oiled Alder body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. PU's are GFS , single coil is their pro series vintage wound and the other is a GFS Mean 90. here are some build pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pepperduck Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Looks great my friend! Congratulations are in order. Two things 1st: what kind of neck pickup is that? 2nd: IMHO she needs a 3 saddle brass bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members d4rk0 Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 he cut that neck? did he fret the fret board too, or buy it already pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpaceFlunky Posted January 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 yea he mentioned replacing the saddles cause he wasnt happy with them. Which brass ones are good? He might take the neck of make it a bit thinner too. Not bad for like only his 4th or 5th build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Callaham makes great bridges. Pricey, but good. Wilkinson makes decent priced ones too. Looks nice, but that bridge does need to be changed. Would kill your palm. http://www.callahamguitars.com/partstel.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitardustin Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'd hit it. That's sexy as hell. Agreed though, it needs a vintage bridge. But also stick an ashtray cover on it and win major vintage cool points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt Gnarly Posted January 17, 2012 Members Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nice tele! I'm in the market for a new bridge as well (top load, 3 saddle) but right now I'm having a hard time justifying $100+ for some of the ones listed here, I'll likely just go with something from allparts.com as I've had good experiences with them in the past.
