Making Sawdust...

This Telecaster clone is coming along nicely

I'm building it for a friend of mine.
 He runs his own saw mill, and gave me a 
ton of material, even trued it up in his shop. 
Made it all nice and flat and ready to work. In 
return, he wants me to build him a Telecaster.

We picked out a nice piece of walnut for the body,
and some cherry wood to make the top.

He told me he likes the sound of a Gibson 330, 
and mentioned country twang, so I decided to 
make this a half standard - half hollow Tele.

It will have the standard single coil at the bridge, 
and the traditional'lipstick tube' pickup at the neck, 
with standard Tele controls.

 There are more pictures on my photobucket
Have a fun filled Black Friday, Everyone.
