Building a Telecaster styled guitar: The Setup . . . the Long, Tedious, Painstaking Setup . . .

I think I finally have it where I want it, or at least it's very close. I've probably strung it and restrung it a dozen times in the last couple of months. First the neck angle had to be adjusted, then the height of the nut . . . then the neck angle . . . then the height of the nut . . . all the while adjusting the saddle heights. As it hangs right now, it has a low action all the way up the neck and NO BUZZ!! I am very careful to maintain 42% RH in the music room. The next test will be to see if it remains stable over time (and season change).

Btw, I'm very pleased with the Slick pups. Nice tone through the Tweed Deluxe, but then everything has nice tone through the Tweed Deluxe.

Building a Telecaster styled guitar: Finally got my headstock decals

My headstock waterslide decals arrived in January from MPS Guitar Decals & Parts in the UK
I did the initial sketch and Martyn fixed it up all purdy for the decal. I am really pleased with the decals and I highly recommend MPS.

ps. I've used this caricature for years, but not on a headstock. I think I like it!
