Another Tele Project

[RVA]

I like the dark fretboard too. It almost looks too dark for rosewood... Is it?

It is your less expensive rosewood, the one that looks a bit "manufactured", like on Squires.

 

[Hackmaster]

Looking great Ray.

I love maple boards, but have to agree with everyone else. The rosewood board looks the best.

 

[DirtySteve]

Yep, rosewood vote here, too.

 

[Amp Mad Scientist]

It is what I do.

I make electrons dance to my tune and blow things up for fun and profit.

He never heard of a vestibule, water closet, or festoon lighting either...only electricians know that stuff.

 

[Don O]

Me too, rosebud. Err, wrong movie, rosewood.

I am still applying Tru-Oil to this one. I just slapped the neck in there so I could decide which neck to install the tuners in

Rosewood ,would be my choice..

Hiya, RVA! Yes, I agree that rosewood gives a good contrast between body and neck. But, and I'm just playing the canadian DA here, maybe you could also consider making the maple fretboard look a bit darker (without going as dark as rosewood of course), just to visually "meld" the neck and body as a third option? Yeah, I know... just adding more work and complicating things... ain't I a stinkah? Story of my life!

Thanks for the idea! That neck has already been sealed, but I will keep that in mind next time - staining a maple neck to taste presents a lot of possibilities!

Would love to see one of those, especially tinted coloured! BTW, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get that tele body from? Not often does one come across a unique piece like that.

These fellows kick out some interesting pieces. You will need to get your hands dirty. Some require more routing than others.
