Dream theater, right?

@@jonathantijerina6724 Yes! The count of Tuscany :) At the end of the video there is also a sound test with the intro guitar solo

Just started making my first guitar and from my dads experience, just buying the neck is a lot easier and worth the money.

@@alexquig2819 Thank you for the advice, I'll look into necks that I can buy.

Hi!! Thanks for your comment!! Be patient, don't try to move too fast and start with an easy model (a telecaster is perfect). I don't know where you live, but Madinter.com is a great option to buy the material. It is true that the neck is a delicate and difficult part, especially the joint with the body, but if you do not want to buy the neck already made, I recommend that you at least buy the fretboard with the frets already cut to facilitate that delicate step.

@@victorbernaldaniel Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

Sorry for the delay. I used Rubio monocoat tint and after that a white Rubio monocoat oil plus c. After that I put some extra layers with wipe on polyurethane

Thank you!! I used Rubio monocoat tint and after that a white Rubio monocoat oil plus c. After that I put some extra layers with wipe on polyurethane sanding each time with a softer sandpaper. For the neck just poly and sanding

Hi! we just use a drill and a long thin bit to go through it. It is not a difficult step at all!

Hi! Maybe you would need to do some modifications and also check if the hole remains inside the bridge space. The best option is to download the template and print it and check it. You can find it here www.electricherald.com/fender-telecaster-templates/

Yes, it is! ☺️

Thank you Fred! The mics are Seymour Duncan. A STHR-1B in bridge and a STR-2 in the neck

Thank you Alan! I’m glad you like it. Sure, I decided to put it there because it’s easier and it’s not really a pain for me to use it from the body, but for sure yo can set it on the head

Hola Prudencio! Te dejo el link a los planos. un saludo! www.electricherald.com/fender-telecaster-templates/

Sorry for the delay Andrew. You can find the templates for all the parts here www.electricherald.com/fender-telecaster-templates/

@@victorbernaldaniel thank you so much

Hi Denis, here you have the templates www.electricherald.com/fender-telecaster-templates/

His Hunter. It's a Dream Theater's song. The count of Tuscany

Read the description, I think it said swamp ash body maple neck ebony fretboard

Sure! Sorry for the delay. www.electricherald.com/fender-telecaster-templates/

yes, but the input is on the body and not on the head

It's to help keep outside frequencies away from the electronics, which can cause unwanted buzz

Exactly :)

lot of work and care... just thinking on keeping it ;)

Thank you Shikhar, I’m glad you said that! Now I can not do that. It’s just a hobby and I’m working on the second one, but slower than expected hehe

Yeah! The main tutorial I followed was his! He was the one who encouraged me to build my own guitar. Amazing luthier

:)

Hello! We spent a lot of time sanding, believe me. But in this case I wanted a natural finish and not completely cover it with nitro or polyurethane to leave it completely smooth. But maybe one day I'll get tired and sand it down completely and do a different finish, who knows. But this is our first guitar, but not the last one for sure :)

guitar purists trying to justify not calling a telecaster a telecaster just because it isn't made by fender... Who cares man? It's a telecaster, it's also a T-Style guitar. So are fender and squier telecasters, they are teles and t-style guitars. It's just a name, why do you care so much?

@@someonequinof Well . . . why is it that this is convention to call a Fender a Fender, and that a Telecaster style guitar clone is qualified as a "T-style" or "Tele style". This has nothing to do with me. I would put the question to YOU as to why someone would want to call a non Fender Telecaster a "Fender Telecaster" ??? All reasonable builders abide by this convention. Nothing to do with me there dude. Younger builders who are not aware of, or do not respect, such a convention need a little heads up thats all. And like you, yes they may reply defensively with their ego. I ran that risk. THIS IS TO "HELP THEM", NOT TO "MESS THEM UP". Otherwise you are stealing reputation, or not being truthful (in these post-truth times). Not to mention the Intellectual Property etc. A nuance that for whatever reason, this guy was not aware of. I say this without judgement. We were all unaware in the early part of our lives. But you see, there is very unfortunate karma for not abiding by this convention. Or do you ?

@@forestyogin2218 I never said "Fender Telecaster", I only said telecaster. Fender is a brand, a "telecaster" is just a type of guitar, which was originally made by fender. There is no misleading in this video, it says custom hand made telecaster, not "fender" telecaster, just telecaster. I guess you could say that "telecaster" always refers to a fender but that's not true. If I see a t-style guitar in an ad or in the thumbnail of a youtube video my first thought is always "that's a tele" or "that's a telecaster" (Even if it's not fender-made). Saying that t-style guitars made by fender are the only ones that can be called telecaster is so snobbish and just stupid. The only reason other brands call their teles "t-style" is due to copyright and trademarks, nothing else. If I made a partscaster build that was "t-style" and I put a fender logo on it, I'm telling people it's a custom telecaster I built. And I guarantee you that if Fender didn't have a trademark over their guitar names, every single tele, strat, jazzmaster, and jaguar clone would have the Fender name.

You are missing my entire point. A "TELECASTER" IS ONLY A FENDER ! PERIOD. "Fender" , "Telecaster" . . . the same. Telecaster is NOT "just a type of guitar", it is strictly a Fender. It was the first with this design. It invented this design, and has copyrighted the name "Telecaster" . Why is that ? The other names are not Fenders. This is just not sinking in, so let's agree to disagree. And go ask other builders if you are brave enough. Good luck and take care.

@@forestyogin2218 If you say a "fender" and a "telecaster" are the same, that also implies strats, jazzmasters, jaguars, etc. are also telecasters. You could've chosen better words for it. And yes, a telecaster is just a type of guitar, which can also be called a t-style, or a tele. You are just a guitar snob, that's sad. Just because it doesn't say "fender" doesn't mean the guitar is any less worthy of being called a good guitar or even being called a telecaster when in fact it is a good guitar and a telecaster (or "t-style"). Just because Leo Fender invented the telecaster doesn't mean it's clones aren't teles, the style design of the telecaster is called telecaster, not the brand itself. So when other companies use the design, it's still a damn telecaster, even if they legally can't say that. Let's give you an example, Karl Benz was one of the people who pioneered the invention of cars and can be considered the inventor of them. Does that mean that any other car who isn't made by his company is not a car? A car is just a a four-wheeled road vehicle that is powered by an engine and is able to carry a small number of people. A telecaster is just an electric guitar that has the t-style design. Now, if you want to continue being a snob and a purist, go for it. Live a sad life with your sad close minded brain. In the other hand, you can learn to stop being a snob and stop getting mad at people who call their non-fender telecasters, TELECASTERS. It's just a name, why are you taking this so seriously?

Thank you!! I used Rubio monocoat tint and after that a white Rubio monocoat oil plus c. After that I put some extra layers with wipe on polyurethane sanding each time with a softer sandpaper
