Members thecornman Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well after a long wait I finally got the bridge I ordered to finish my Surf Green Tele build! Came out great. Everything fit nice and it barely took any work to setup to my standards. Action is great, no buzzes and the intonation is dead on as it gets. So happy with it. The tele I head in my head for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is some no name Korean built one I bought on Ebay. It is thick, solid and is easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thecornman Posted June 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 Looks great. What is the body? Thanks. I bought the finished body off a Canadian builder on Ebay for about 120 shipped! It is made out of Northern Ash and weighs about 5 pounds. The neck pocket was a perfect fit for the lefty Mighty Mite neck I put on it.

Members AxAxSxS Posted June 9, 2012 Members Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ya know, I'm not a huge fan of tellys, mostly because of the weird squiggly headstock. But reversed? That looks SO much better. Nice choices on colors, everything about that is very tasty! Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members coolcat2 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Looks great, love the color. What's the name of the guy on ebay you got the body from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 That is fucking sharp looking man. Very very nice. I would have stuck with a non reversed headstock, but regardless, if I were a tele guy, I'd have already PM'd you an offer. Truly spiffy.

The ebay dealer is rivingstone41! Just looked at his items and all he has going at the moment is necks. I bought one of them from him as well for the super strat I built and it was pretty nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I built my start in my avatar with a reverse neck I realized that it just makes more sense to have the tuners on the bottom of the headstock. When I am playing my hand is already down there and I find it easier to tune on the fly when jamming with people. Now it seems that the standard way they are is backwards.

I been playing it a bunch this weekend and really loving it. Feels and sounds great. I will give it a good workover at my bands practice Tuesday night.
