Tele parts-caster done: J5P "Spellcaster"

Here are a few quick pics of my first completed guitar project. It's a Tele parts-caster that I call the J5P "Spellcaster" (where J5P = John 5 Prototype). It is basically my attempt to duplicate John 5's prototype Tele. The most noticable difference is that I kept the normal Tele switch rather than go for the LP-style toggle switch mounted in the upper bout.

Body: Warmoth Tele, gloss black finish, white binding top & bottom
Neck: Warmoth Tele, gloss black finish, white binding
Fretboard: Brazillian rosewood, Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays
Pickups: DiMarzio D-Activator humbuckers
Wiring: Two volume (no Tone), switch is Neck-Kill-Bridge

Re: Tele parts-caster done: J5P "Spellcaster"

It's what Warmoth calls their "standard contour" neck. Feels like a modern Fender neck to me. However, it's a compound radius neck which goes from 10" at the nut to 16" at the bottom.
