Thanks for the advices... I hope to start on this sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Hi, I am about halfway done through a jaguar/tele hybrid guitar. I'm thinking of binding the body and have a plan to sandwich 3 strips (i.e. black/white/black) around the perimeter. StewMac is selling strips of 0.02" thick by 0.25" tall and recommends weld-on cement as adhesive. Obviously from side-view I would route ~0.25" deep. My question is, from top-down view how deep do I route? If I wasn't accounting for the adhesive it would be 3 * 0.02" for the 3 strips, but I'm assuming the adhesive will fill an un-ignorable space, or expand a little (?) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all - I was also considering as an option a regular neck (of either variety) with a reverse nut. It's good to know the only significant difference is the heel curvature, looks like the straight tele type is easier to route a pocket for. Appearance wise I think the strat necks have a much nicer head, which would also look unique on a tele body.

First off let me say this is a terrific site. Hopefully I'll be able to share some of my experiences towards other members' future projects. I am about ready to start building my 2nd guitar, which will be a telecaster. One thing is, I ended up being born left-handed which sucks for guitar playing (one of the reasons I started building guitars). I'll probably end up buying the neck off ebay, but there are no lefty tele necks for sale, while strat necks are aplenty, and I'm debating whether or not to just buy one of those. Is there any signifcant difference between the 2 types? If the dimensions at the heel are a little off that's probably fine because I should be able to redesign the neck pocket to match. Thanks a lot for the help!
