Just a quick set of macro snaps of a Fender Telecaster which a mate, who made it from scratch, has leant me while he does some work on my guitar.

It’s a very impressive – and eminently playable – piece of work. The last time I did anything with a wood chisel was at the end of the first academic term in 1979 when I parted company from all things carpentry related. Probably for the best, as demonstrated by my managing to retain a full complement of fingers and thumbs [at least at the time of writing]. But to carve and assemble something like this out of raw materials: massively impressive. Here’s a link to Jerry’s piece on making the guitar, and the macro gallery.
