It sure is! Haha, our culture lives on outside of Reddit!
I’m glad you like this one. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Tele look, so once I saw my first offset version, I knew I had to have one. Then after a couple years of modding other guitars, I decided to just build one. Turned out super fun to play
Usually I’m more of a fan of solid colors, but the classic butterscotch color on a Tele feels right, even if it’s a Jazzmaster shape.
And yeah, this is white pine. Super light, I love it
Thanks!
Oh, and yeah, whatever prevails, prevails. I tried to make one myself a few days ago, but beehaw just kept failing out on me. Not sure if they just let anyone make a community or if it’s more of a process.
Whatever. R/guitars was my favorite place on the internet, and I just want to help rebuild that here
lol, don’t we all?
If you ever do another build, I strongly recommend Bootstrap. Super affordable, hand wound, and they sound fantastic. Only downside is you may have to wait a couple of months for them to be shipped.

Thanks! I’ve just been teaching myself how to do setups and mods and soldering and whatnot over the past few years, and that all culminated in this project.
Super fun. I want to build more now
Great looking guitar. And I’m so glad to see a guitar community has started! I tried to get one going on lemmy.ml and beehaw, but those instances are struggling right now.
The Tele bridge pickup can do just about any sound with the right effects in the loop. Glad you found it, and this community!
