What can I say?

There's just something about a Telecaster that's SO right!

Nice work, Leo! Lovely guitars... enjoy!

Wow, 2 new Teles, Congrats! Did you order them whole from Warmoth or did you assemble them yourself (or have them assembled)?

I don't think Warmoth sells assembled guitars. I ordered the bodies, necks and bridges, pickguards, knobs, and screws from Warmoth. The pickups came from two different places, Klein and a maker in Germany. both wiring harnesses came from Klein. I brought the parts to my tech who assembled them and set them up for me.

I wasn't sure if Warmoth sold assembled guitars or not. I did buy a neck from them 10 years ago. They make great stuff.

Klein flies under the radar a bit but they make as a fine a pickup as I've ever heard. When friends play my jazzy cats strat, they just start grinnin'.
