When i say that it has a Telecaster sound, im not lying. it has a Telecaster and a Strat and a heavy sound all in one. It's almost ultimate.
this is the first guitar i have built, and it took me over 12 months to build. I finished the guitar myself, stained it myself, and no other hands have touched this asides my mums when moving the parts around the house haha.
In real life it sounds alot better, needless to say - to test it i use a Fender G-Dec. Total cost for me was about $800 AUD, with half that from the cost of the pickups.
