Warmoth Tele Paul build

[drewiv]

I was sifting through my endless supply of crap and found I had pretty much everything I needed to build a guitar, with the exception of a neck, body, neckplate and screws. Instead of trying to sell all of it, I decided to build a guitar. Here's the parts.


I had to change the Humbucker cover to chrome. ^









Looked at some Warmoth stuff and decided on this. I let my wife pick out the body, with some constraints, and I like her choice. The body is Black Korina. The neck is Rosewood, standard thin profile, with SS 6100 frets.



Just finished assembly last night. It came out damn nice, IMHO.

Beautiful! The LP layout just works with that body.

Looks awesome, I'm building a Tele at the moment as well, built the body myself, and bought the neck. Definitely a lot more fun when you out your own work into it! My build thread is still going if you want to check it out.

That looks awesome !!! I want a white one like that, humbucker in the bridge and a Tele neck up in the neck.

 

[Mr. Willy]

Love it.

That my friend is one sexy fuckin axe! Congrats!

I struggled between black limba and swamp ash on my recently ordered Kiesel and wound up going swamp ash on this one because I like how their antique ash treatment finish looks.

My next build will be black limba

Nicely done
Beautiful and unique guitar , a rare combination.

How's the sound of the woods together?

 

[LP Freak]

Killer build man, dig the way the Korina turned out; great grain and finish.

 

[mooncobra]

wow, looks great man, how does it sound?

 

[Intimidator333]

Really nice!!! Been wanting a humbucker tele type guitar myself.

 

[squealie]

That does look really slick. Tell us how it sounds!

And +1 for the Lite. I don't trust anybody that doesn't like cheap beer.

 

[chumbucket]

Gibson or Fender scale ?

 

[cecilbag]

That has a great look to it. I bet it sounds mean with that combo.

how does it sound?

Tell us how it sounds!

It sounds great! I love the feel of a bare rosewood/pau ferro neck and this one does not disappoint. The pickups sound great in this wood combo and there will be no messing around with this one.

Gibson or Fender scale ?

Fender scale.

And +1 for the Lite. I don't trust anybody that doesn't like cheap beer.

Oh, and thanks for all the compliments! It came out better than expected for a "parts lying around" guitar.
