Nice. I partically like the look of the neck. And I think that the look of oregon suits a tele very well. Iook forward to seeing it with some finish on it.
Cheers,
Peter

Any further progress?
I was wondering what the jarrah does for the sound of the guitar. I've recently heard bad things about jarrah as a guitar wood. Please say it isn't so.

OK guys....Build is now finished
Here are some picks.
Sounds quite good even though it needs to be setup correctly. I am going to take it down to my friendly guitar man to have it setup right.
Anyways it has been a heaps of fun for my first build. Amy very happy with the finished result. Especially as it is even playable.
I have already started my neck project....a lap steel.
Cheers,

Well done Mr. Wippy.
What did you end up using as a finish ?
It looks like a satin finish which makes that figured neck look like a very comfy player.

Thanks guys...
Yep...I used Wattle Estapol Satin from a spray can. Finised it off with EEE wax (Not on the neck though).
Cheers

turned out very well. love how the neck came out.
the pickguard looks a bit dull from the photo's, is it well represented? you could possibly use some wet and dry and then some polish if you wanted it shiny looking.
