Here is one I just finished. Customer had a Warmoth body and neck. I finished it in a tiger eye on the maple top, dark stain on the ash body. The neck was already finished in clear so it was stripped and refinished to match the top. Since there was no strong figure on the headstock we went with a brown pearl metallic and some gold pin-striping to set it off and keep with the color scheme of the wood. Pickups are lace and it has P/P pots on the volumes to give phase & series switching. I'm not much of a Tele guy but this turned out sweet if I do say so myself.

That is a machine…!!!
I wish I never got rid of my B bender… I recently saw that Gibson makes a Les Paul Jr special B bender that was pretty sweet… sounds really good too… can you say Page-y dreaming?
been meaning to make a Tele … right after the Firebird clone…
cheers
