After a night drying there are a few bits off dust and small fibbers in the la-quire, so its back down stairs for a wet and drying before continuing with the La-quire.

If any body knows how to spell La-quire  please post.

Thanks alun, the idea is to make it look modern, with a hint of rock, but keep the traditional tele twang.

And what is your choice of fretboard, Maple, Rosewood, or other?

The neck is maple with an ebony fret board, I am having it built it was order 5 weeks ago so with a bit of look it should be here next week.

Also it is a satin finish with a blackish skunk strip and white graphite nut.

We do not flog ourselves to repent, we employ professionally trained mistress to do it for us.

We do not endorses drug use, only class B, C and certain class A

Right the body, which you can't tell here is super shiny. So with the inspiration for this tele coming from Jim Roots signature fender telecaster, (although it won't be getting EMGs), the first job is to knock off the shine so I will post a pick latter when I have wet and dried it.

Please post any advise or tips.
