Project complete (finally)

I've been on this project for a year now. Seriously, I bought this kit after last Christmas, and have been working on it in spurts all year, maybe a weekend or two every other month or so.




It's a Telecaster Thinline body style, semi hollow body so there is maybe a little resonance without amplification, dual humbucker pickups for when I plug in. I whittled the headstock into shape, painted and distressed the body before sealing, and finished assembling last night. I've spent most of today playing around with it, and deciding it needs much better strings and probably a new nut, but it plays.

Was that unplugged? Nice resonance. I can see why the guitar is distressed though - get some decent strings!


you have a nice voice too.

Nice work. Have you tweaked the fret height above the wood any?

Na, Wolf. I left the neck alone so far. I have to drop the action a little more, so we'll see if I have to adjust any of the frets.

Stormie, I had it plugged into my Marshall Mini amp for the record. And thank you.
