Starting on a new Tele build, and I know we have a lot of tele lovers here!
AllParts neck MIJ, Maple/Ebony board. Body is 1 piece (I'd never heard of a one piece body before) Swamp Ash, will be Candy Apple Red. Buying my pickups from Rocketfire once again. A Broadcaster set, but instead of using it's neck pickup, I'll experiment with '58 wound STRAT pickup that I have here. Pickguards (ordered one for strat and tele neck) are yellowed, and tuners are Gotoh vintage locking. Body should be done 'round the first week in May. Sending the neck to the guy who did my Strat neck for finishing, maybe pull out the thin frets and put in Jumbo's.

Nice. Teles are great. Send updates as it comes along.

There's usually a premium on one-piece body blanks, but they're out there.

Don't be fooled by photographs. I'm not doing any of the woodworking. Just piecing it together.

From the opening post it looks like you've thought of everything, maybe including the kitchen sink.

Hahahaha! Thanks. My 3rd tele build, 5th guitar build (pieced a bass together, a tele for a friend, and my recent pink strat) all together. With each build, more questions get answered.
