First guild from start to finish

Sorry everybody, it’s another walnut Tele build on Reddit. My father and I both built guitars out of the same tree that he felled on his property a few years ago for this project. Due to the smaller size of the trees there is a clear transition from the front heartwood to the back sap wood that I really like. I learned a lot along the way, only thing left is to get good at playing it.

Body- North American walnut from my parents property.

Neck- flame maple, 25.5 scale, 9.5 radius, medium jumbo nickel frets. Made by HavokGuitars.

Pickups- Fender cobalt chrome; FeCrCo magnet

Wire harness- Gunstreet Classic Tele 4-way

Bridge- Gotoh GTC201

Tuners- Gotoh SG381-07
