A while back I decided to build a new guitar, and it's finally ready. Obviously tele-inspired, but with a few quality of life changes I really enjoy, like locking jack, arm contour, and tilted control plate. Body is ash, neck maple and oak, and the plates are oak too. Tone is surprisingly mellow but still has a bite to it. Haven't fully adjusted it yet, but I'm satisfied already :)
Wow! The dark ash wood looks so cool!
I agree, the black paint works really well. I'm glad I didn't flatten the grain completely, so you can still see the wood pattern clearly when the lighting is right
