In this photo-video diary, I show the process of building this custom Telecaster guitar. The body is mahogany, the top is a bookmatched African Padouk with sapwood in the middle and neck is a 5-piece laminate of figured maple and padouk. The fingerboard is bird's eye maple with ebony dot inlays.

You can see the full set of photos from this build here: projectelectricguitar.com/custom-telecaster-guitar…

The track in the background is called Hey Sailor by Letter Box. It's a free download from Youtube.

How can somebody hit the dislike button? It just baffles me, PEG as a community not only shares tons of free info, but does so without pitching a sale. Thanks for Sharing Araz! your work is simply top notch, I hope haters never discourage you from your passion.

Im more of a Explorer type of player, and i really liked the Exp that you built, but this thing is just stunning on a whole other level. Every detail and nuance is just right. 100% Grade A my friend.

Perfect video. Perfect guitar. Very smart way to make the transition from the headstock to the fretboard. High level picture quality. This is what I like to watch on YT. Thanks.

The 13 people who gave this a thumbs down have no appreciation for the talent it takes to create something as beautiful as this. I build electric guitars myself but I've never tried a project like this. Your video inspires me to take on more challenging projects. Beautiful work!!! Well done sir.
