Absolutely beautiful! I love the contours at the neck-body join!

I do have to ask though, how did you get the humbuckers to wind themselves

After more than two years off and on I finally finished my first two guitars.

 

[tabascom16]

First of my own design. I took one from the playbook of a Les Paul Supreme and made an enlarged jack plate opening for wiring to avoid a back plate for a control cavity. What a pain to wire!

Thanks. The tele is friggin heavy. All rosewood. Just over 10 pounds but it sounds and plays great.

I made the neck on the Jr really thick. Vintage spec, close to an inch at the first fret. I’m a firm believer in fatter necks mean fatter tone. This thing roars.

My Jr. has a thicker neck as well, and I think there is just something about the single bridge P90. I bought a cheap chinese one for $10 and replaced the ceramic magnets with UOA5, so for $15 I've got a wicked sounding pickup.

 

[Dart67eb]

My first build from a $75 flawed Muslady kit. GFS mean 90's and a tusq nut. You can see the filled in gap where the body was sanded too low.

Just finished up this P bass. First time shooting a candy finish for me. I'm running flats on this one... seems pretty fitting for a classic.
