still needs some work...I want to change up the knobs to normal gibson style black ones, and also set it up with 12-60's and tune it down to C or B...
Is that an Edwards?
I love mine so much, is one of the most fun guitars that i've ever played.

Thanks guys. Really happy with it. Need to sort the G string's intonation and move the top strap button, but other than that very pleased with it!
And don't worry about the record, I've got two other copies on different colors!

How is the intonation in general with that? Cus I've toyed around with the idea of making tele copy into a 9 string, and your thread + the finished product got me to maybe consider going with those. Intonation being off by more than just a cent or two annoys the piss out of me tho, so I dunno. Think I should do it?

I wouldn't recommend EVER making a Telecaster with more than 6 strings if you plan on using a traditional bridge. Any other type of guitar or bridge style? Completely go for it! But using this standard style of bridge has been nothing but a pain.
Every other set of strings E/A/D/B/E are all intonating just fine, it's just the G's. I'm going to spend some more time with it tonight, or maybe put a larger size G on the guitar, cause these G's are either 8 + 10 or 10 +10 which just is a little on the thin side. I might also take a look at the nut

Added an octave to the high E string.
Swapped the tele pickup out for a strat pickup.
Hardtailed the bridge instead of the floating Teisco trem.
