Thread: Thinline

Nice looking "T" that one, I have not built a Tele style guitar as yet, but that is about to change as I just recently got and order to build one, what pickups did you use? Cheers Paul.

Nice to see that blackwood again at long last.
looks good any chance of seeing larger photos.?
nearly forgot any photos of the back.?
Regards, Bob

The back and top is some Tassie blackwood I got from Bob (Woodturner) the neck is rock maple and the main body is Qld maple..
I used all gold hardware including the fretwire.

Hi Bigriver,

Yes it was an interesting build,mainly because it took so long and in the end I tended to rush it.

The pickups I used are Seymour Duncan vintage stacks .....

Cheers

Nice, the one I have to do is pretty basic, trans TV yellow over Ash, maple neck and fingerboard, Bare Knuckle pickups. I did a double cut Les Paul jnr with a P90 Antiquity in it in TV yellow, that little guitar couldn't play a clean note to save itself, down tune it and give it some grief and the hairs will stand on the back of your neck. I did the trans TV yellow by adding yellow dye to lime wash and hand rubbing it in, then finished with 2 coats of Rediseal, and 6 of Nitro, does anyone know another way of doing trans TV yellow? Cheers Paul
