Over the months I've seen several posts about building Teles, buying parts on Ebay, replacing necks, what works, what is interchangable, what doesn't work etc. I thought I would post pics of my last two projects that I'm 100% thrilled with. ALL OF THE PARTS were purchased on Ebay. ALL OF THE PARTS are 100% American. Each guitar cost me less than 50% of what I would pay at Sam Ashe or Guitar Center...AND I have the pride of saying I BUILT THEM!

One Caveat - this is not that simple - you need to research what prices are currently doing and what you are willing to pay. Sometimes waiting a few weeks can make a HUGE difference. You also need to have some basic skills - (for example - I am a retired machinist). Due diligence is necessary. Also, you need to avail yourselves of the dozens of guitar building sites on the web (just Google) to get it right the first time. But let me tell you, there is more rewarding playing experience when it's done!

Here are the pics:

Best of luck,
