Grindell Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Did this for a place here in Central Illinois called The Woodworker's Shop. The plane is Bocote, the letters are Padauk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Looks pretty good. The bocote looks green, though . What's with the flat spot by the output jack? Looks like someone used the roundover after drilling the output maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 wow you did an excellent job. At first I thought it was so perfect that it was just printed on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlGeeEater Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Thats awesome, is that cleared? If not, will it be gloss or satin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Is this made with a CNC?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I was just assuming it was. If it isn't you did an incredible job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindell Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yes, it was cut on a home built CNC. The finish is Tru-Oil. I'm not sure what you mean about the flat spot. There is a flat spot on the bottom lower half so that there is a flat spot to put the output jack. I used a Electro-Socket, and I don't actually like them on a rounded surface, as I prefer a little flat spot for the socket to rest in. For some reason, when I put an Electro-Socket on a rounded body, it doesn't want to seat fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marksound Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Production Fender Teles (the ones I've examined anyway -- your mileage may vary) have the flat spot where the output jack goes. I've always thought it was a bit strange, but then Leo never really did anything without a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have seen this done on a few teles, including the 2 that xlr8 got in the inprogress section, but I don't like it that it looks so obvious, if you look here you can see that the line is difinitely there but not as sharp as the one in this guitar. It does look good and to a normal eye is not unappealing, but I would gone for a more subtle approach and maybe french the socket into the wood a bit. I love the inlay, CNC or not very nice clean job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
