Title: New MQ-equipped tele
Post by: WezV on August 16, 2010, 03:49:31 PM
Just finished this up for a mate.

Its a parts build since he wanted a relatively quick turnaround and i think i have done enough tele's from scratch this year ;)

 Allparts body & neck with higher output MQ set and a really thin sunken grain finish that he wants to bash about a bit

Nice!  I bet it was good not to have to fill that Swamp Ash grain :)

How did you find the allparts stuff?  My Tele body is really light, the neck is great too.  Pity they have gone so expensive thought which means for the same $$$ you can get custom from Warmoth, which is what I'll do next.

i like the allparts stuff - i think its pretty much comparable to warmoth but obviously with a lot less options, the grain matching on this ash was top notch.  The retail price is a bit much, but thats less of an issue for me ;)

That looks great. I bet it sounds wonderful with the MQs.

nice! I would prefer a white scratchplate (and non-matching maple headstock), but other than that, it looks awesome (plus it's his guitar after all :lol: ) :)
