A Little Bit Of Limba In My Life!

[zyonsdream]

I started a new project yesterday, glued this up and got it shaped in just a few hours.

It’s obviously a standard telecaster body with a bolt on neck.

Wood:

3 piece white limba with bubinga stringers, mahogany neck and Bolivian rosewood fretboard.

Neck specs:

24.75 Scale 12” radius with Jumbo frets and pearl position markers.

4 point bolt pattern with ferrules- no plate

Body specs

Rear belly cut

Single humbucking bridge pickup- gunslinger style! (angled)

Wrap around tail piece

Limba Matching cover plate

Not 100% sure on finish right now. Might go with an amber tinted clear coat.

Should be pretty simple but elegant too. Nothing super flashy about it. The color is a bit washed out in the picture, it’s more of a golden color in person.

I also designed a new headstock shape. I love my current 3x3 shape but I thought I needed something a little less radical.

For some reason Fender never jumped on the stringer bandwagon (Guess it was mostly a BCR and Carvin thing) but I’ve always thought stringers looked good on Telecasters. I was actually debated using Padauk for stringers over Bubinga but I was afraid that the Padauk dust might get into the grain of the very light limba and never come out.

However, I don’t see any of your guitars with bridge pickups in the gunslinger position! 

Gimme some time. I'm still a rookie. I need to completely master one thing before jumping on to the next.
