Mostly trying to figure out the best way to post here. Tried a direct upload of a photo yesterday, and it just ground to a halt.

Anyway!

This is a recent build I did, and I love it

  • Warmoth neck
  • Nomoonlaser body
  • Bootstrap pickups
  • Hipshot tuners
  • all other hardware is fender. Though the pickguard is some random dude on ebay that thankfully fit perfectly

    Nice! My eyes always love transparent finishes that show off a natural wood grain like that. Is it pine or ash or something else?

      Usually I’m more of a fan of solid colors, but the classic butterscotch color on a Tele feels right, even if it’s a Jazzmaster shape.

      And yeah, this is white pine. Super light, I love it

        Nice. Pine was an underrated wood for a while but it’s coming into fashion now. Lighter ash replacement due to those stupid beetles.

        Ironically usually I like transparent colors better, but my single coil Tele is solid. Maybe I’ll post a pic of it sometime.
