New 7 string Tele Builds

[timbryant99]

Hey guys. Let me know what you think of these new 7 string Tele builds. One is a chambered korina body, birdseye maple neck, ebony fingerboard. The other is a honduran mahogany body, koa neck, and macacauba fingerboard. 25.5" scale on both.

Images are broken, at least for me.

 

[timbryant99]

Okay. Hopefully the images work now.

Wow, I love both of them. I always have a soft spot for Korina, though. If I ever get around to building my own guitar, it'd have to be Korina.

 

[timbryant99]

Thank you very much. I love me some Korina as well. I think the top was only 35 dollars at Gilmer wood. I got lucky.

Both of them are gorgeous! I'm totally stealing that design

Those look nice, I really like the first one

I'm not fond of standard Telecasters at all but 7-string ones with humbuckers (like the ESP ones...) I can dig

 

[Spicypickles]

Damn, both are aw3some!


Dig the first just a bit more

Looks pretty neat to me, nice simple layout of body wood lines and linings, elegant
I miss a pic of the full instrument to see the headstock, and how it all fits together.

I would prefer a more sexy heel for easier access to upper frets - you know, the Tele is pretty neat for solo works too

 

[Slaeyer]

That black binding along with the natural finish of the bodies looks sweet!

Awesome work!

 

[timbryant99]

Awesome. Thanks for the input, guys. The korina one is my favorite as well. I think I may try a contoured heel for the next couple. Perhaps 24 frets as well for the shred guys, if it doesn't mess with the classic vibe too much.

 

[Anquished]

Very nice! The first one is my favorite but I wouldn't say no to the second one either..
