Yep, very tasty. Nice pic's!

Lov'in the flat top Tele knobs. Very cool. 8)

Thanks Andy,

I thought the knobs were a nice touch and in the end the glendale knobs were more accurate but more costly.

Now I have to decide what to build next, another Tele or a Strat. :lol:

Congrats on the completed project. I think it looks amazing, very realistic relic job. Really nice choices on everything, color, components, and that neck is sick. Glad you're enjoying it as much as you are, but I do feel sorry for your other guitars (at least for a while.) If they get very lonely, please feel free to send them to me and I'll play the heck out of 'em. :lol:

Finally got the Dreamcaster back, been playing all weekend and havent taken any pics yet but I will post some tonight/tomorrow. Easily the best Tele I have ever played which includes a real 54 a 61 and a 1982 Fullerton AVRI 52. The pups have that unique Kinman sound, just enough twang and when attacked they distort nicely. Plugged into my Carr Rambler the tone is unbelievable. Neck feels like the Hwy 1 neck I love so much but faster due to the nitro finish. Have to get used to playing the jumbo frets again after playing my Starfire IV for so long while waiting. The relic job is just enough and looks REAL. This pic really doesn't show off how good looking this thing is. Good to have a Tele in the house again, I forgot how much I loved them. Now it is time to commence build #2 which is going to be a blonde or vintage white Tele with maple neck...possibly a Strat.

It came out looking really fine! Nice work!!! 8)

haha, well the 1974 M75 Bluesbird I just got has been played a total of 20 mins since I got it back from setup. Ive tried to split the playing time between it and the Tele but I just keep ending up with the Tele in my hands!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

ABS that'll be a killer project to work on. I thought about making one for myself some day. Where did you get the neck and body from? Definitely keep me posted.
