Goldtop Walnut Telecaster deluxe scratchbuild
dawnofzion replied to dawnofzion's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
I ended up using some slickJR p90's. The guitar sounds great. A combination of walnut body and neck with the p90's has some serious punch. This is my first hand rubbed oil finish and I really love the feel of it. Thanks again for the kind words.- 56 replies

I always liked the skunk stripe on the back of fender necks. Purely cosmetic.- 56 replies

Just to be clear, I don't plan to cover up all the walnut on the guitar. It will be a gold top with cream binding on the front.......but The back will be clear over the walnut.- 56 replies

I'm starting up a solid walnut Telecaster Deluxe build. The body is English walnut sides with Black American walnut center stripe. The top will be a goldtop with black pickguard and hardware. P-90 pickups with deluxe style controls. The neck will be Black American Walnut with a Rosewood board. Currently I have the body wood milled down, glued up, and rough cut to shape. The routed to shape. Got the neck milled down and roof cut. Then routed to shape and installed a Paduak skunk stripe. I will be updating this thread throughout the entire build.....
