My dovetail fanned fret Tele build

Yes, it's true, not all guitars are acoustics; some have single coils and some have buckers, and all of those have some serious electrons. Build 'em, work on 'em, mods, questions, Put 'em here!

Very nice and a step away from tradition...without stepping too far away. I like it a lot. Excellent craftsmanship.

Hey thanks Bert. Yeah it is a pretty big step away I think, really the only tele things about it is the shape and neck.
Dont worry about the craftsmanship, there are PLENTY of mistakes... I have just gotten good at hiding them. :D

A belated thanks to Dennis M and Paddy too.

Finally have some nut blanks on the way so I may be able to actually play it soon. 4 out of 6 strings buzz terribly.
