    The Telebusker Hey Everyone! Here is my 4th guitar/1st tube amp build. This was mostly built in my basement with a few trips to visit friends and family with a wider selection of tools. Shoutout to ArcticWhite from the TDPRI for the name idea. The inspiration for this build came from mashing together a vintage blackguard esquire and champ amp. I wanted a way to play electric guitar for short bursts that didn't require much setup. I was also chasing that "cranked tube amp" tone at household volume levels. The Specs: Reclaimed Pine Body 1/4" Baltic Birch Plywood Top + Back Fender Standard Series Neck (Maple) Tweed/Shellac Finish Hot Hide Glue McNelly A5 Signature Tele Bridge Pickup 1/4W 12U7 & 12K5 Tube Amp 12V 1.5 Ah Lithium Ion Drill Battery Quam 4" Speaker Build Thread: Demo Video: Pictures:

    Claymore I completed this guitar late last fall. I've been building on and off for 10 years when I get the time. I built two almost identical at the same time but with different stains.

Specifications: Body: Honduran mahogany (maple veneer) with grain matched cavity covers. Water based lacquer finish. Neck: Padauk (maple veneers) with flame Maple binding and luminlay side dots. Tru oil finish. 25.5" scale length. Fretboard: Ziricote with MOP logo at 12th fret. Headstock: matching maple with Wenge and padauk accents. MOP inlay. Frets: Jumbo stainless with hemispherical ends.

    Carbon 01 This is my sixth build and its a custom of sorts for a friend of mine. It breaks from tradition in a number of ways. Firstly the neck is solid carbon fibre laminate from panels that I had just hanging around in the house. Of course the rigidity of the material means no truss rod. Also there is no fretboard radius; this was a conscious decision based on the fact that the neck is totally straight. Carbon fibre laminate neck Superglue finish Design - Bolt on (actual bolts, not screws...these were needed on account of the carbon fibre. Scale length - 25. Woods used- Poplar Burl top and English Sycamore neck. Striped Ebony fretboard Inlays - gold leaf with epoxy Pickups - EMG 57/66 Locking Vanson Tuners Wilkinson Tele bridge
