NGD : My first telecaster ( custom build )

[621]

Hey guys!
It’s been a while since my last post here, but here I go again
This is actually my first Telecaster! Before this, I tried a bunch of Teles under $1000 at my friend’s guitar shop—but somehow, none of them really clicked with me in terms of feel and sound.

So I decided to go the custom route and placed an order with a good friend of mine here in Indonesia. I had a few specific things in mind: I wanted a Tele where I could easily adjust the neck pickup height without removing the pickguard, and also access the truss rod without taking the neck off. Plus, I asked for a rounded neck profile and stainless steel frets for extra comfort and durability.

Specs:

• Ash body
• Maple neck and fretboard
• Jescar stainless steel frets
• Porter vintage tele set
• Gotoh in tune bridge

Anyway, here’s a sound sample I recorded using my FM3!



I’ll try to record more sound samples with this guitar

Looks pretty good! Good job sticking to the 3-saddle bridge; that's what rounds out the Tele experience for me.

That is beautiful and about exactly what I'd spec out for a Tele build! Ash body, chunky maple neck, stainless frets, vintage amber stain over natural finish, black guard. Love it and now I'm going to be pricing out parts :)
