It does look like a cool Tele type hot rod. What a sweet finish !

A New Modding Project/Delivered
Hey Joe, I got to play for about an hour uninterrupted this afternoon. Everything works as it should and honestly if I wasn’t such a but-in-ski I could easily see leaving this guitar totally stock and live happily ever after. But I’ve learned enough over these oh so many years, you can take an average guitar with good bones, and with a couple of well selected bits and pieces, turn that axe into a superstar! This guitar is going to be my smallest investment, biggest return in performance I’ve ever done. I can feel it. frank d.

I really love the finish on this Frank, AND it plays and sounds good too? That's awesome.
The maple fretboard looks like it's played in already, nice...

I was interested in what this EART T-style guitar sounded like and I thought this video was helpful. The guy playing is a good player.
It's a good sounding guitar from my viewpoint! - Glenn

I am enjoying this thread Frank because you are doing this with/for your son and it's cool to see inexpensive but good quality stuff being used and modded. Thanks for sharing Glenn!

This Phillip Mc Knight video(below)sealed the deal for me to persue this build. Also the Gotoh tuners arrived today. The only thing I have left to be delivered is a small, fine tooth coping saw to notch the pickguard where EART, at what would be the twenty third fret, put the rotary dial for the truss rod!! Come on, you Cats thought of everything when building/designing this neck! I can’t get enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUj4Yfjafmg These are just beautiful! The rotary dial for truss rod adjustment. Real cool! This is where I will need to notch the Fender pick guard .

Glenn, Joe, This fellow could be my brother from another mother!!! We have the same meaty mitts!😹😂😹 He, like Phillip McKnight, call it the way they see it. Pull no punches, say what it is in black and white. They say there is good stuff, there is poor stuff, and then there is the neck! End of story. I’m in hook, line and sinker. Thank you boys!! Frank D.

I’m trying to get my brother Tony and his wife here before the summer ends. COVID threw us a curve ball the last couple of years, and they still haven’t been to the new house. He is a high risk with a lot of respiratory issues since childhood, so we kept him away at the worst of the pandemic. But it’s time to get him out here now! Hope this finds you and yours well, Glenn! fd

So, the last two parts list items(shielding tape and a coping saw) have to be delivered, then this project gets put on the back burner till my son arrives at the end of the month.
Taking some advice from fellow forumite GoPappy, I asked my son if he would like me to wait for him to arrive so we could do the build together while he was here. He was genuinely happy I asked, and I an so happy I did. I’ll get back with pictures and a review at the end of the month!

I'll be looking forward to hearing about the conclusion of your project with your son. What a cool thing for you two to do together! And I do hope you can get Tony and his wife over to your place, too. Summer's a good time for visiting, for sure! - Glenn
