NGD: Custom modded tele djent machine!

russdogz_ · 02-23-2012, 12:56 AM

today is the day that i finally finished my partscaster! started ordering parts for this over 6 months ago. took me ages to find a body and take the plunge. i ended up scoring two genuine fender bodies off ebay for $100 each and decided to hack out the bridge pickup cavity instead of ordering a custom warmoth on for $600. so i ended up making TWO telecasters. the neck for the other one is still on its way! it's going to be this ones twin brother: vintage white, rosewood fretboard, all black hardware and a distressed BKP warpig.

Specs on this black one:
Alder telecaster body
custom pickgaurd w/no neck pickup
bareknuckle aftermath bridge pickup
gotoh telecaster bridge
schaller locking tuners
custom control plate with only one volume pot
all switchcraft electronics
custom(makeshift) string trees - used parts from a set of dimarzio clip lock straps aha

i just finished setting her up and she plays and sounds like a friggen machine! so so SO stoked with how this has turned out! couple of pics below.

this project was all completed for about $400 too! definitely worth it.

Love those string retainers, cool guitfiddle man.

Michael T · 02-23-2012, 01:08 AM

Man, that is sinister !!!

Very in-tele-djent

Goatchrist · 02-23-2012, 03:05 AM

YES! Very nice! Congrats!

Ironbird · 02-23-2012, 03:10 AM

Aww yeah! I'm far from excited about the whole djent thing, but that is one Tele I'd gladly rock! And you got it done on only a shoestring budget! Congrats.

slowro · 02-23-2012, 05:35 AM

Tele's are the best and that is HARDCORE!

ThePhilosopher · 02-23-2012, 06:39 AM

That's one sinister Tele.

brynotherhino · 02-23-2012, 08:07 AM

Thats awesome dude!!! Where did you get the aftermath with no pole pieces?

russdogz_ · 02-23-2012, 08:14 AM

thanks dudes! spent about two hours playing her before. cannot get over how good it is. i can tellthere will be more of these to come

i ordered it off the axe palace dude, you can request 'no holes' covers

Ayo7e · 02-23-2012, 08:17 AM

I'm not usually a telecaster fan, but I love this one.

Thanks man! I actually have a tele that is very similar to your's, and ive been thinking about putting a white aftermath in it with white pickguard

loktide · 02-23-2012, 08:22 AM

cool

you REALLY need to fix the intonation on that, though

fitterhappier · 02-23-2012, 09:47 AM

Phenomenal! Love the evil Teles.

Mattmc74 · 02-23-2012, 11:49 AM

Congrats! Thats a bad ass looking tele!

Philip N · 02-23-2012, 02:05 PM

Love it man!

On a side note, where did you get that control plate? I've been looking for a single volume one for ages...

very sharp, love the maple

Geognosy · 02-23-2012, 08:27 PM

Now that's my kind of guitar - sexy, personal, unique, and cost-effective. The position of the lowest bridge saddle looks way forward to me. I'm used to my lowest string intonating way back toward the bridge in comparison with the other strings. Any reason why it's that way (string gauges)?

russdogz_ · 02-23-2012, 09:13 PM

in all honesty - the guitar is pretty much intonated. still needs a bit of work cause it's still setting and stuff but yeha, i found it weird myself!

also got the blank control plate off of www.guitarfetish.com, you've gotta drill your own hole!

CrowCore777 · 02-23-2012, 09:37 PM

Love it!

broj15 · 02-24-2012, 03:47 AM

The contrast of the maple with the blacked out body is amazing.

VigierUSA · 02-24-2012, 05:39 PM

I like the way the control plate looks with just the one volume... I don't know why, but it just strikes me as a badass look.
