Impressive, bobb. I built my own Tele in 2008 but it was basically an assembly job with no woodwork, using a Warmoth body and neck. It was a way to get something with the exact parts and look I wanted. The only "clever" bit I did myself was the 50s style Tele waterslide decal on the headstock, which needed applying and lacquering very, very carefully. I'm still amazed I didn't mess it up.
I didn't enjoy the wiring. A 40W iron isn't really powerful enough for the pots, which suck heat away.
