eddiewarlock Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Or anybody has done it and has pictures of the process?? I see Drak and Alberto and BigD are making their teles , I had this tele project a few months ago, and now it seems like the time has come for it to be finished finally! Yeah, I'm gonna jump into the tele bandwagon!! i'm using a maple/ebony neck i got like 5 years ago, and this mahogany body i plan to chamber, before coming to england, i had thought of making it sorta like a Telecaster GT, then decided and make it like one of those Schecter plane graphics, now i wanna do something like in between, arched top tele, with some graphics...any pics are appreciated, suggestions as well, thanks a lot!

Mattia Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 My personal suggestion is don't arch it; I can't think of a single arched telecaster that I like the look of. Telecasters work because of their simple, clean lines. A single F-hole can look classy (I do like thinlines), pickguards look great, but beyond that...rather have something closer to a Peavy Wolfgang/MM Axis, if you want a tele-esque carvetop. However, beyond that, just look at any 'ol arched guitar/top plate carving tutorials, figure out how you want to arch things, and go from there.

eddiewarlock Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was looking for something a bit more radical, like the schecter or the squier gt, but i can't find pictures of it, or pictures of a tele with its top being carved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
