My Tele Build

[Kellanium]

I'm dropping my wood shop class (for reasons I'll keep to myself). So there won't be any new pictures for a while until i can arrange private lessons.

Some one lost a toe or two

Sure! We'll go with that!

It's too bad you couldn't get it routed out before you dropped the class... is there any way you can get in there after hours a couple nights while nobody is around? It shouldn't take more than a couple hrs to get her ready for electronics and to cut the string holes.

Private lessons are awesome.

Private lessons are awesome.

Yeah, but they cost money and being a brokeass, I'm always on the lookout for cheap/free ways to get things done.

I hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread for a bit, Kellanium but I figured that since your project is on hold for a bit that it'd be alright.
You got me wanting to work on my own ever-evolving tele project, so I went and bought a lipstick pup and mini-humbucker and installed them into my guitar, which has been an esquire-style tele for about a year and a half. Before that, it was just a run of the mill tele that I put together, with a skinny Squier neck. This is the guitar that I do all my wiring experiments on. Here are a few pics:

Esquire:


Neck cavity done, with mini-humbucker waiting patiently.


Close up of my shoddy work:


Pickguard cut, pups installed and wired:


It went pretty well, except that I didn't realize that the mini had "feet", which means that the depth of the neck cavity needs to be about 1/4" deeper than the actual pickup casing.

So for now, the mini sits tilted toward the bridge... it doesn't sound too bad, though. Just excessively loud.
