I know many will disagree with my fake decal, but this guitar is just for me, never to be sold, never to leave my hands. I will post pictures of the body and some of the other technical parts soon, this body is amazing (in my opinion).

If anyone here is going to do a build, I know everyone loves warmoth...but please please please check out the awesome craftsmanship going on at http://www.guitarmill.com/ they do some amazing work and the level of their craftsmanship is second to no one...I've been blown away by their work.
*steps down from pedestal*

Like I said, I will post more pictures soon....stay tuned...

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it so far, I know I love the build threads with a lot of pictures.

The case is a Fender Western Tooled Leather case, I got it off of ebay, where I'm sure you could find more. Not sure else where to find one, but I knew that it was the specific case that I wanted for this tele...so ebay it was.
