Warmoth Tele project suggestions / ideas please

[smudger123]

Hi All,

I have an American series Tele neck (maple) with no body right now so I am thinking of getting a new body and of coarse I want to use Bare Knuckles in it. I am thinking of a Tele bridge / P-90 neck configuration and was thinking of a Brown Sugar Bridge and a BKP 90/91 neck which sounds like an ideal combination to me.

I am considering getting Warmoth to make me one of their hollow body guitars (mahogany body / Maple top), does this sound like it would work with the pickups mentioned? I was also considering a Padouk body and top as this would not require a finish and make the guitar far more resonant (too much maybe though??)

My other option would be to buy a 69 RI mahogany body off eBay and route the neck for the P90.

Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully received for what will be referred to as my BKP Forum Telecaster. 8)

For your BKP Forum Tele I'd go with a hotter bridge with the Mahogany body - say a Boss. Maple necks on mahogany bodies sometimes need a bit more of a kick to get them sounding great. The Boss isn't that hot, just on the hot side of vintage, a touch more than a brown sugar.

The BKP90 will sound sweet!
