    Well, I had so much fun building the little TeleUke for my daughter, I decided to build myself a Tele.

    All pretty custom, naturally. 1-3/4" nut, 25" scale length, 2-3/16 string spacing at the bridge (which necessitates individual string bridges).

    Once again all reclaimed urban lumber. Black Acacia top (Acacia Melanoxylon), California Sycamore neck (Plantanus Racemosa), Monterrey Cypress body (Cupressus Macrocarpa), and Olive fingerboard (Olea Europeaea).

    Single Biltoff CC at the neck (absolutely magical BTW)

    Very cool. I didn't know Monterey Cypress grew anywhere but the California Coast, but according to Google it looks like it has found a new home in New Zealand. It is nearly extinct here.

    Yes, isn't it a protected species in the US? We have more of it here than we know what to do with... most common use is landscape sleepers!

    That Sycamore neck is very nice as well.

    I've officially joined the club. Wanted a tele but also wanted some unique specs and didn't fancy spending a ton of money. So I decided to do a little DIY project and hit up Warmoth for a 2 piece alder body and a maple neck with rosewood board and their boatneck profile and 10-16" compound radius (yes I know that's kinda against the tele grain). Gave it a cherry red finish and put in a Lollar CC pup in the neck and a Porter 9T in the bridge. Got a nicely done '66 style harness from a guy on Reverb (KD Paulus) who specializes in tele electronics. Joe Barden bridge with compensated brass saddles. Gotoh vintage style staggered height tuners. Nickel hardware.
    It's my new favorite. I can't get enough. Sings like none of my other guitars. Sustain for days and such clear, defined tones. The Lollar is of course fantastic. The Porter 9T pairs really well, P90 sort of sound. Let's me get a really great bluesy snarl when I want it. I'm in telecaster love...

    Sure! I'm not really set up for sophisticated recording so this is just iPhone mic on room air. Nothing fancy, just a little chord melody for Corcovado that I'm working on. Probably a bit off by getting the acoustic sound in the mix too... but it gives some idea.

    As a daddy surrounded most days with small children, I thought that was a pool floatie. I am so ashamed when I realized it was a bottle opener that I immediately went downstairs and poured myself a beer!!!

    I ordered a Warmoth Neck to replace the neck on my Fender 50s Series tele.

    The new neck will be one piece unfinished roasted maple. 1 3/4 nut. 12" radius. Roundback 59 shape. I was originally thinking of fatback or boatneck shape because I like more girth, but I'm afraid that it will be too much in combination with the wider nut. Any input from people with warmoth experience?


    On a related note, that picture of Mr. Frisell already has me planning a custom partscaster. Rosewood neck, chambered roasted swamp ash body, TK Smith CC neck pickup. I got so excited about the idea that I spec'ed out the price using Warmoth's 'build your own' tool and I concluded that I have to unfollow this thread.

    Ha! Yeah, the "build your own" on Warmoth is a real boner-killer. If you're patient, stalking the "in-stock" options saves a pretty penny though it may rule out some more exotic options. I went with pretty basic options on body and neck so I could splurge a bit on pickups and such.

    I went with the boatneck for my tele, it's definitely a substantial chunk of wood. basically straight line on back from the headstock down to the heel. There's a bit of "V" to it so it feels more thick than it does wide. If that makes sense. It took a little getting used to but now my other guitars feel like I have to cramp my hand up where the boatneck just sits nicely.
    The roundback 59 was on I considered as well, as I think it would mirror my 125 pretty closely, which is my second favorite guitar.

    After spending some time with the new tele, I've come to the conclusion that every jazzed should own a tele with a CC pup. Do it!

    just for yer info..that neck on frisell's is padauk, not rosewood

    here's what warmoth says about it

    padauk-

    Bright vivid red color which oxidizes to a warm brown with use. With an open grain texture like Rosewood, the sound is very similar to Maple; well balanced and tight. It is very stable in use and requires no finish. Feels very natural to play on.

    tk smith all the way!!

    bill has subsequently been using a tk smith guitar..there's clips of tk & frisell

    cheers

    Great. It sounds intriguing. I'll have to call warmoth and see if they can do a snakehead neck in padouk. While I'm at it I can ask if they have any pine from Jim Jarmusch's apartment.
