I know we talk about amps, pedals and guitars here a lot. But we never really seem to talk about the DIY side of it all too much. So I thought I would share something I just put together using Warmoth parts. Warmoth did all the finish work, I just drilled and assembled.

Great looking guitar. Any reason why you opted for no tone control and/or coil splitting?

That guitar reminds me alot of my MIJ Fender Contemporary tele, but yours has a much much better finish.... :D
 
awesome other than the emgs. not a fan, but if you like em thats all that matters
 
WOW

I've been gassing for a tele for quite some time now and THAT hits the spot. Holy crap that guitar looks amazing!

How much was it all together, if you don't mind?

About $2000.00 including hardware and EMGs. But it's all "top shelf" stuff, no skimping out here. Might sound like a lot, but compared to Gibson, Fender, PRS, Surh, etc. it's a great deal for what I got.

That's a great looking guitar. The top is matched really well. Love the stain. $2K? pretty good in my opinion. especially if it plays as nice as it looks.

Check their site, you can build a very nice guitar for less, especially if you look in the "Screamin' Deals section. I've always wanted to build a guitar to my specs and have some hands on while doing it. So Warmoth made perfect sense to me. They are very professional and great to deal with.

i actually have a Soloist style being done also as we speak. :rock:
