nearly finished telecaster project,

connor

a while ago i decided to give my tele a bit of a facelift which ended up being me replacing almost everything on it,

i wanted it to be all chrome and black and as it's gerrin near summer i decided to build a smokey amp into it so i can sit on the garden and play.

i bought the parts a while ago but only recently decided to put it all together

all thats left now is the wiring which is a simple task.

i realise the humbucker looks wonky but thats cos it's not screwed into place...and looks like sum of my cats hair was on it wen i took the pic anywayz hope ya'll like.

Looks sweet, love the bridge!!!!!!! 😛

What kind of neck is on it?

connor

the neck is a bound strat neck it doesn't fit properly in the neck pocket cos the shape of the heel but i'm just using it till i can afford a new one, i think i may get an aluminium neck to keep with the colour scheme. and the bridge is probably my favourite bit as it has fine tuners 😀

Is that a Kahler tremolo?

I like it, Teles are good for modding especially with the nice thick bodies. What output is the amp?

connor

the bridge/tailpiece is a schaller fine tuner. i was gonna use a wrap around at first then i saw this bridge and thought it looked to awesome to not get also only having to drill two holes seemed like a lot less work then fitting seperate bits.

i'm not entirely sure wot output the amp is i think it's somthing like 1 watt 😆 not very powerfull and very distorted sounding but it's more of a novelty value mod then anything, one good thing tho is it has like a fuzz box sound wen it's used as a preamp effect.

Holly fvck man. Chrome and black Teles are the best!

This is close to what I was planning on doing with my tele (minus the humbucker in the bridge and the speaker) before I sold it.

...kinda wish I still had that tele now ☹
