Assembling a Telecaster from Spare Parts

So, did I mention that I'm new at this blogging thing?  I have no idea what I'm doing.  My sister at http://lapdogknits.blogspot.com/  and my cousin at http://mysterlingshot.blogspot.com/ are my inspiration.  I really enjoy reading their blogs, so thought I would throw my hat in the ring!  Looks like fun! (I think?)

OK, back to my FrankensteinoCaster (spare parts Telecaster)... I installed the input jack, soldered in the bridge and neck pickups, ground wires, etc., etc, bla, bla, bla.  Bottom line is a darn nice spare parts tele, and a definite sonic improvement (amazing the difference a body makes!).  The boys in the band at http://www.scoopdevilleband.com/ are impressed, too!  Here she is in all her glory (the pic doesn't really do her justice):



Almost forgot... here's the headstock.  But that project's a "hole nuther" blog entry!
