Beautiful looking instrument
Congrats, how’s she play , sound ??
 
That looks great, man. I've always been curious about a pine body Tele, but never had the opportunity to play one. I was at one time going to build one, but I chickened out.

Canada still has some wood left.
USA cut down all the trees, unless you want guitars made out of oak.
I wonder what oak would sound like?
Meanwhile it costs $10 for a $2 2X4...no more wood here.

Paid $13 for 2x4s yesterday. Lumber yard did not have any MDF and their supplier can’t commit to a delivery date either. And I thought the TP drought sucked, but no wood :run:

$13? Jimminy Sheep poop.
That's bound to shut down construction everywhere.
Imagine the house framing materials increasing 6X in cost.
