7 String Telecaster (s)

sigh...

i found a suitable workplace in where to build this guitar. i've never had one, so you can imagine the dust that was always covering my appartment, after i had been working on my guitars.

so this place is basicly a "club house" that is in a bomb shelter (every buildig must have one)

it's a very simple place, it only has 1 power socket a 60w lamp.
but it's completely soundproof. so the people living in the building can't hear me working, which is very important for a workplace like this.

sooo how about some pictures?

perfectly straight, sooooper tight fit and almost flush with the body = perfect.

purrrrrr.....

clean-up tiem

bye bye new workplace...

Awesome work on that pocket! And what could be more metal for a guitar than to be born in a bomb shelter?

I've never liked Tele's much until I see more of the 7 string ones. Leo Fender was clearly well ahead of his time as they were clearly meant to be 7's not 6's!

Loving the build man. It's looking sweet and the reverse Tele headstock just works. Some quality skills you're showing and I will be keeping up with this thread.

On a tangent, part of me would love to see a guitar that stays like that. I'd never own one and would probably mock anyone who used one but a shovel guitar would make me chuckle, and what can be more Metal than a guitar you can do gardening with?

Keep up the build!

Wait for Gibson to do it.

[teleofseven]

should i post an update?

 

[musikizlife]

Yes pleaseee!

 

[teleofseven]

alright, i'll do some binding first. EDIT: oorr maybe not. i've lost my glue.... so an update tomorrow then... darn.

btw. i've decided to use tru-oil as a finish. would someone know what sort of stain should i use (on te wood, not mixed to the oil)?

I am so on board with the tummy cut blended into the outline! Very nice work throughout.
Are you going to work a little more on the headstock? To me it looks a little... hand-drawn, if you know what I mean. Kinda like what the USA Custom tele-style headstock might have looked like before they cleaned it up.

it's supposed to be a modern version of the tele headstock.

I like where this is going.

i really hope you put "fucker" on the headstock in fender letters. its such simple yet clever word play hahaha

[ThePhilosopher]

I want to see more.

 

[teleofseven]

this is the third guitar i've done that had binding. i'd give it a 7/10.

Always wondered what the correct location. Does this matter?
