My tele thinline

Look at this! Ben (aworkoffire on OSG) has finished the paintjob on my thinline. He's done a lovely job I think.
The neck is Allparts tinted nitro, vintage narrow frets. Feels really nice. There's a Catswhisker Pickups mini humbucker going in the neck position with a lowish output tele bridge pickup, also by Catswhisker. Got white p/g, chrome knobs, electrosocket jack cup. Only thing I'm not too sure on is the tuners- I've got a couple sets of Gotoh Kluson-likes (the ones Fender use now), some Klusons with plastic buttons, and a set of vintage Schaller M6s which look great but maybe not for this guitar.

It's a standard '69 Tele guard. Not the Warmoth variation, so there's no control plate:

That looks great Tim: I used to have a 69ri, they're great fun. Glad your guard is white rather than pearl.

Snazzy as fook, Timmy. What did he charge, out of interest?

Wow that looks ace! For some reason I thought it was archtop for a minute and couldn't fathom how you'd tidily cover the top routing D:
