Floyded Tele Project

[MuttznMongrelz]

I am going to start finish work on the body this weekend...either Lemon Oil for color and a Nitro Clear or I may just grain fill and Clear Gloss it.

Warmoth Birdseye Maple Neck, Tone Bomb 2 Piece Swamp Ash at 4 ½ lbs with Strat Style Forearm Contour on Front/Tummy Cut on Back, Black Gloss Esquire Pickguard, SD Evenly Voiced Harmonics TB, CTS 500K Volume/Fender TBX Tone/Tele Cup Jack, OFR w/37mm Brass Block...

Oooh! Now that's frickin' nice!

[MuttznMongrelz]

Thanks! Hoping it comes out a nice player as I really want to put this neck to use. I had picked up another body but it was a bit crude and not really the type of Ash I was looking for but the Tone Bomb Body seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

Love it! Nice!!!

Thanks! I've been trying to piece together a project for a while and originally started with a custom Single Hum Gretsch Billy Bo Jupiter Body in Flat Black and a Reverse HS HM Neck that didn't work out as the body was defectively routed and misrepresented by th eBay seller so I ditched it and wound up deciding to do a Super Tele instead.

Pickguard or No?

Looks sweet. Ditch the pickguard IMHO.

+1!

Cool. I'd go Mary Kay white on the body with the black PG.

That was the other option I was considering.

Lose the pickguard, looks terrible.

[MuttznMongrelz]

Sans Pickguard seems to be the consensus. Thanks.

Actually, I would say "yes" on the pickguard if it were pearlized, like maybe a pearl white or blue.

[MuttznMongrelz]

Concensus seems to be with out but I'm kinda liking the PG look.

[Brandenburg]

i think it looks better with the pick guard
