Just wanted to share the progress on #2. It's loosely patterned after a '69 Tele Thinline, but the body shape's a little different.

Redwood top and back with poplar middle of the body
neck is a one pieces fender style neck, curly maple and walnut lam.
Finish will be a sunburst-ish look, with analine dyes, then a coat of shellac, then probably tru-oil

thanks for looking.

That's a very good looking Tele Rob! I like the neck a lot.
I can't wait to see your sunburst on this one.
Very nice !

Wow, that's really great bud!
I've been thinking on perhaps building a tele at some point, but have never built a solidbody to date. Keep up the good work.
PS: I especially like the laminated neck.

Put one of these in the weekend accomplishment thread, but I'll stick one here, too. I used amber with a hint of brown aniline dyes to bring out the flame. This is an LMI 2nd grade redwood top plate, so not to much flame, but I like it. Then I did the burst with brown dye mixed really dark. It's got a couple coats of tru-oil on it in this pic.
