sup dude. not to long ago schecter made this and it has to possibly be the nicest tele ive lies eyes on. its the Chris Garza signature model. its running about $900 if your looking for a quick fix with out building one.
i should imagine that on closed units like these tuners i would be fine, however over time (the one on the left) the cog will be pulled away from the wormdrive from the tension of the strings!
fretboard FINALLY done. it took me some 20hrs to get done. BUT this is the best fretwork i've ever done. i'm so pleased with it. i may start with shaping the neck today or sunday. tomorrow i'm going ice fishing.
here's where i'm currently at, with a mockup pickguard djentdjentdjentdjent
i'm unemployed atm, so i've now time and intrest to continue this project.
i just finished shaping the neck. and it feels amazing. it's a nice D shape, but a little flatter on the middle. from the 3rd fret it's 22mm thick and on the 12th fret, 24mm thick. so not really a think neck, but not a baseball bat either.
