I thought I'd chime in to offer all the praise I can:

Some nice woods there, Fernando!

That's all I've got I'm afraid, the hardware and especially the shape of it really is hideous, but hey, you knew that when you bought it! ;) It even gives you a clue: "Nonsense Tele" !!

EDIT: Actually, those woods aren't "nice", they're bloody gorgeous!

That is looking very tasty Fernando.

I usually have reservations about this spalted business, always seems to look "diseased" to me , but this one looks pretty :D

It looks like you're going for no pickguard or control plate? I'd feel naked without those - hope you're not just leaving them off in an effort to build a tele that Roo might like!! :lol:

I'm guessing that's a Warmoth Pro, personally I would have gone for a vintage modern as I love skunk stripes, but not everyone agrees 8)

Yeah, it's a Pro, you can see the side truss rod adjuster (I spend too much time on the Warmoth site  :wink: :oops: ).
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

:lol: That's it! Looks better the Pro to me...

Wez, you bugger! Show a picture to us! (I'm sure you'll get at least one quote from guitar after the picture :D)

Thanks Roo, I knew you'd love it... But I'm not going to sell it to you, as you asked me on a PM :twisted: :lol:

Andy, I'm leaving it as it is, just because I hate pickguards and control plates in exotic woods :D

Nice one Fernando, do you have a picture of the back of the neck?

I'm on work now, when I get in home I'll take some pics of the back!

I would have to agree with you fully there.  Not only are Tele pickguards obnoxious and disgusting, but you have such beautiful woods on that guitar it would really wreck the continuity, and, to be honest, you would just have too much going on in one guitar (i.e. - it would become VERY tacky VERY fast).  So, good call on that one.

Yeah, makes perfect sense when you've got a cute piece of wood not to hide half of it- we'll have to disagree on the state of tele pickguards though!! :lol:
