Tele From Rosewood


Recommended Posts

Good God that is some Sexi-Lick-Um-ious Rosewood. :D

2 questions:

1. Did you use a standard Tele template to cut your bodies out?

They look a little 'homegrown' to me for some reason.

2. How experienced are you at finishing Rosewoods?

I hope you have some, it is not a starter wood for finishing.

Beautiful tops! :D

I'm curious as to where you are after having seen your pictures. It says that that is east-indian rosewood and it appears you're a mill owner. So I'm guessing India, however you look more Southest-Asian... I'd guess Indonesian. Either way, just me rambling and curiosity.

Edit: Hahahaha, I just looked at your profile and DAMN I'm good, it says Indonesia. I used to live in Jakarta!

Wow... those will be kinda the first good looking (in my opinion) Tele I have ever seen. Especially the second one of the first pictures and the first backside look incredible. Man I wish I had such domestic hardwoods... the only ones from where I live that might be nearly as good looking are walnut (european) & plum.

So many questions... Are all of them chambered as shown on that last picture? How heavy are they? What have you planned for the necks? And why does the picasa-link not work for me?
