Title: 1968 Telecaster build
Post by: godofthunder on February 05, 2023, 06:03:49 AM

  Here's my latest project, a 68 Tele build. The ferrule in question that lead to the relicing honestly was seated just fine I'm the only one who would have known. I just can't leave well enough alone lol. https://youtu.be/yGgXUplcw9E

I have a MIJ 51 , it might have the strongest G string of any bass I own. Unfortunate school bus yellow But I’ve learned to live with it. Very lightweight and resonate.
So I appreciate a good slab body SCPB.
That should be a beauty!

So it's already got a bit of honest relicing... She's a beauty, Scott!

Aren't the ferrule lips supposed to sit flush with the body?
