SteveFord Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Very handsome. You should trace out a 335 body on that table and break out the old jig saw when nobody's looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day I'll send it to Rabs and have him do just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Outstanding! Warmoths makes really nice stuff. That is about as nice a Tele as I've seen. What bridge do you have on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Gotoh "In-Tune". Sets up really nice. Very good intonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks for the replies. I have to say that I'm very impressed by Warmoth. The finish is great . Great choices of wood. Everything looks way better in person than on their website. The fit is excellent. Everything went together nicely. The Seymour Duncan "Hot for Tele" pickups are very nice too.

merciful-evans Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I thought I had seen all the nicest tele finishes, but not that one. Its up there with the best though. Very tidy! I want to do a Warmouth build, but think I need to start with something cheaper. Nice choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Maybe one day I'll send it to Rabs and have him do just that!.... Might as well. It already looks like a Rabswood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Forrest Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 That's a beauty! If you don't mind me asking, about how much did it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 That's one of the nicest builds I think I've ever seen. Great Job Black Dog! Now,... go put some dents in those frets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 That's a beauty! If you don't mind me asking, about how much did it cost? Thanks. It came in just under $1400 for everything. The body and neck were in the high range of what Warmoth has to offer. But if you look at the cost of a Fender, it's a little less than an American Professional but with nicer wood. If you compare similar wood and finish, you could build a Warmoth for about $900. Another way to look at it is that with Fender to get a nice looking top and neck, you pretty much have to get a Custom Shop guitar. Those start around $4000. Now, I'm sure they're much better at tightening screws in the Custom Shop than I am, but I can get the same look and performance for about 1/3 the cost.

NighthawkChris Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Nice telecaster you built there! Looks real nice and especially like the flamed neck. I have a couple American Fender guitars - bought brand new. Paid about the same as you for your project for each guitar and they don’t look as nice haha! I like the route you went on your decision and probably a bit more fun too. Either way you don’t really go wrong buying a nice American Fender IMHO, but doesn’t mean you have to buy custom shop prices to get a Fender custom shop Fender style guitar that can sound fantastic. Anyhow again beautiful guitar and congratulations! I hope it inspires you plenty to make some tunes 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking that a Tele with a matte black body, gloss black pick guard, all black hardware and transparent black maple neck would look pretty cool....
