Making a Telecaster (Full Build)

An attempt to make a replica of my favorite 64-66 Honey/Blonde/Rosewood Telecaster model.
In the end, I'm very happy with the result. Great sounding and super playable guitar.
The sound at the end of the video was recorded directly with iPhone 13.
Gear used: Fender Super reverb, Leslie 16, and Fuzz Face, with the guitar volume slightly rolled off.
Thanks for watching

Don't think I've ever seen a build like this before on the net. That's some serious craftsmanship - especially on the neck.

Wow. The guitar, the playing and the sound. Wow

I am a guitar repair shop owner in Korea. Among many YouTube videos and producers, your technique is the best I have seen.

This is a superb craftmanship !! Can't wait for a modern ST build

This is amazing. You are a great craftsman. That rosewood neck is stunning and a knockout paint on that telecaster too

[chriss]

Extremely nice work! And great playing! Thank you!

I've never seen a neck to fretboard reverse radius curve before. Hella cool man. I am so apprehensive to start my first build. You builders make it look so effortless.

Yes I’m with you on the darker rosewood fretboard unless it’s Purple Heart. Great build there!❤

[johnmicalizzi]

That's what you call, passion! CRAFTSMAN!

[keiranbradley]

That's really cool the way you got the curve behind the nut like on a slab board but you also did a laminate style neck too.
I've never seen that before, nice.

Truly a great build yielding a work of art. It’s beautiful to look at and it provides loads of great ear candy.
Congrats.
