Telecaster Custom project

2024 Harley Benton Telecaster kit, re-routed as a Tele Custom.

1. Used my laser cutter to create a 5mm black plexi routing template for the internal routes.

2. Internal routing complete.

3. Created a routing template for the pick guard. I've made the template flexible enough to accomaodate 2 pickups and four controls or (the version that I intend on making) 1 bridge pickup and 2 control knobs.

4. I've changed the bridge configuration to string-through-body rather than the default top-load configuration. To facilitate this, I created a plexi installation template - available for purchase at Reverb.
